Well, my insurance said yes.

Now I'm waiting to hear from the hospital to schedule my pre-op appointment and my surgery date.

I'm excited and terrified all at once.

My first appointment was at the end of January. My last appointment was April 8. My insurance approval only took a few days. It was submitted April 26! It was supposed to be submitted April 11 but the office has a lazy person in charge of it. I waited a week and a half and then started bugging her to death. She finally sent it in to shut me up. :)

I guess I have enough co-morbidities to make them think surgery is cheaper than all the meds I take.

I hope they call to schedule soon. I'll give them another day, then I might start bugging them....lol

My doctor said I could lose but not gain. Would any of you all be interested in joining if I started a Facebook group? I saw one on here but I messaged her weeks ago to join and never got a reply back. I thought since we were all within a couple months that I might start one for us. Let me know if you are interested.

I would love to join a private group on Facebook. I hope to have my surgery next month. I did all my appointments but need one follow up with my pulmonary appointment next week. My name is Vanessa Lecoin on Feb.

What a weekend! Took 3 hours to put together my new grill on Saturday, but had some of the best kebobs ever.... chicken breast with 4 different colored bell peppers, onions and mushrooms. We also built a fire in our fire pit for the kiddos to roast marshmallows.... no matter how badly I wanted one, I held back. Honestly, I was having such a good time watching them that I didn't think about it much.

What did everyone else do this weekend?

Yes, and I already had those three months because I was documenting weigh ins monthly with my provider. I work in the office she's in. She knows about the surgery obviously, but she knows my desire for privacy so it's all being kept quiet.

She has referred several patients to this surgeon and knew the procedure. Most insurances require more than three months. So we started the weight counseling. My insurance only needs three months.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
