Hi everyone, I've been booked in on 4 July. I'm in Sydney Australia. You poor patients in the USA have to jump through SO many hoops! Happy to chat and thanks for creating the topic :)

Good luck! I self-payed, so not dealing with insurance has been a blessing...well, other than writing that check. That hurt.

Hi my last weigh in will be June 29th. They will send over all the insurance papers after my 5th visit June 1st. this way the insurance company will already have reviewed everything when they receive my last weigh in. My tentative surg. date will be July 14th. I'm getting both excited and nervous.

I will have the Facebook switched from secret to closed for a few hours today for anyone who wants to join. I am going to switch it back to secret after that to respect the privacy of the members so the link will only work a little while.

Hey All, I have my last dietician appointment this Thursday. Then they will submit to insurance, so it looks like I will have a June/July date.

      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.
