Well I went and I wasn't put on schedule lol but I did get to see dietician.

2 days later seen nurse and psych and scheduled with surgeon.

I started Protein shakes for Breakfast as a beginning to start. I'm at a rock for weigh loss now because I'm limited as my insurance does bmi at surgery request , not bmi at beginning. I'm at 41 but with comorbities I can go (she suggested 36) so it was 35 and give them an excuse to exclude for that.

Everyone has been great and they were super excited that I had my planned things printed out history meds docs surgery their requirements and insurance requirements already. It made things very smooth! lets kick ass this 6 months to get to the date !!! I deserve it, my family deserves it

Still working on getting my surgeon to submit for authorization. Last hoop....check.

Such a draining process, but I try to tell myself they make you go through everything to weed out the weak and make sure that they truly dedicated ones push through.

      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.
