Anxious now that 6 mos doc visit is up



Recommended Posts

Hey has anyone gotten very anxious towards the end of their 6 months supervised doc visit? It's on Thursday and then next week the sleep study and then it's go time with the insurance. I'm so anxious and excited at the same time. Like I felt when I was little and it was December and it's almost Christmas.

I guess because I know that it's almost time and I'm getting close.

I'm only 3 months into the 6 month diet/exercise. I have had all of my appointments/evaluations. Did an Oxygen study at home last night. Waiting to hear back to see if I need to do the sleep study or not. Where are you from in VA? I just moved to NC 1.5 years ago from Harrisonburg, VA. I would have never even considered WLS if I hadn't moved here. I am still in the "Whatever" mode right now because I know it will still be awhile yet. Just trying to keep myself busy. Good luck to you!

I"m in Richmond area. Good to see another Virginian. Yeah I was in the whatever mode at first and then I got more excited. My 6 month supervised doc visit ended today. Yeah keeping busy eases the anxiousness I've notice. Good luck to you, as well

I'm also in the RVA area and on my last requirement to meet criteria. Good luck! It seems that everytime I goto my PCP for the supervised diet, they're clueless on what I need them to do.

Question!

Your 6-month appts, were they all 30 days apart? I have a few months we went back into that were longer and on random days.

Thanks!

I'm in the last month of my 3 month supervised diet. They'll submit for insurance approval on May 2nd. I do have to have a repeat Endoscopy at the end of April. Surgeon found an ulcerated area in my small intestine and a large hiatal hernia. On my meds now for the ulcer. Hope they work as no surgery for me with an ulcer. I'm trying not to stress too much about that, especially since stress is bad for ulcers! On the plus side, I've lost 27 lbs on my own so far.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
