What can I say about today? Amazing!!!!! If you follow my story , today was day 9 of the wait. I was so tired of hearing "its still pending", I said I would just wait it out. But a relative who had the procedure 9 months ago(one of the few people who know) messaged me today at 7am to ask if I had a date yet. I really did not want to have the conversation cause it was driving me crazy . I answered her and informed her of the process I am going through. At the end of our conversation I thought "what the hell let me call. Normally the rep takes 2 seconds to come back with "pending", after a 10minute hold she returned. Your request was approved and letter sent out today. I think the next 5 minutes I heard nothing she said. The reality of the word APPROVED, was trying to find me. I should have waited until the company called the surgeon's office . But waiting is not easy for me, so I called and left a message. A hour later the scheduler called to let me know that she had a few ahead of me and would call me on Monday to lock in a date. 3hours later I had my three pre-appointments, and a ..................................................SURGERY DATE JUNE 1st

      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.
