I'm hoping they submitted my file for team approval today. I want to call but don't want to be a pain. She said last week it can take a week or two to find out. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you too!! I hope you hear from them soon. Maybe call on Wednesday to see if it's been sent. :-)

I got great news today! My son called and informed me that they're having a boy!! They sent me ultrasound pictures. He has chubby cheeks. lol It's a high risk pregnancy so I'll be praying for them. She's in the hospital now, since Friday, trying to get her blood sugar levels under control.

Hope everyone is doing well.

Hi Nana!! I had a rough start to the week. Battled some depression and stress but I came through it once again. Yesterday and today have been better. I had my 6 week appt yesterday. I was bummed because I'd only lost 21lbs. They gave me some advice so hoping I can start losing better soon. Woke up with a 2 pound loss this morning. I hope I'm past this stall. I need to drink more Water, exercise more and log my food. I do well until my depression hits. I usually bounce back fairly quickly though. I hope they get your paperwork settled soon so you get a date set!! I'm excited for you to start this journey too. Enjoy your weekend!! I'll be stitching all weekend. I need to finish an apron I'm crossing stitching for my mother-in-law before Christmas. I'm such a procrastinator!

Lucky I'm so glad you are feeling better! Congrats on the 2lb loss! That's great. I know my sister started walking after her surgery she never was a walker but she swears that helped the lbs come off. Hope you continue to feel good and keep losing. I'll keep you posted on my info. Have fun stitching!

      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.
