@kittymom. I'm in Richmond Virginia. I don't have a date but I do know they have submitted all of my paperwork. Good luck to you. Who is doing your surgery ?

I am having my surgery @ Spotsylvania Regional Hospital. Dr Jamal.

Thank you for the well wishes. My approval came pretty quick, I'm sure you'll have yours in no time. Good Luck!

Yeeesss me! I got approved for surgery so quick took like a month because I had several doctor records trying to lose weight since middle school and all failed so now I'm 25 and scared as crap bc my support group is small as well as my support team but I know that it's within myself where my support really relies on. But my surgery is September 20th 2016, yaaaay let's get it!!!

Melanie 89 Im in Atlanta Ga, USA, My insurance is covering my bcs I have High blood pressure also and sleep Apnea. But Like you Im so nervous and not sure whats going on my weight has gone up now that Im getting close to surgery and its not like im eating more I went to the doctor today and I was told that it was due to anxiety that triggers the gain weight... so Im keeping my fingers crossed

Hi etorres - this is my first time on the site, so forgive any obvious mistakes. My surgery is scheduled for September 12. I, too, am excited, nervous, and sometimes even afraid. I'm sure this is normal, but when you're going through it it's awful! Do you have to do the two week pre-surgery diet? I think I'm more afraid of that then anything. So afraid it will be so hard for me that I'll give up. Good luck to you and I'll be standing by for more posts from you.

Good Morning All!! So I am hoping to find a group of September Surgery Buddies here!! I was originally scheduled for August 4th, and then due to the surgeon's conflicting scheduling (a scheduling error I'm sure) and my already standing Labor Day Weekend plans, we postponed until September 28, 2016...

Currently, I am not on any "diet" per se, but I am doing my best to eat "clean", and I have started to workout as well.. I figured I might as well get into the habit before the surgery. Hope to hear from you all soon!! Take care!!

I start my 2 wks pre surgery diet Sept 5th. I've cut out all sweets (my big downfall has always been my sweet tooth!) and am down to very little caffeine already. I would normally have alot of coffee with sugar & cream in the mornings. Now I have a cup with splenda & cream and then a cup black. Also was a huge diet pepsi drinker and am trying to just drink Water. At the most I'm having 1 can of soda a day now. Ik the 2 wks thing will be difficult but I'll stick to it. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he patiently answered all my questions. He seems very nice. My surgery is Sept 19th. I have been working on this all summer and am both scared and excited.

Hey you! I got my surgery date of Sept.6th 2016. I am excited but nervous as well. There isn't much of a support group here where I live and hoping that this group will help.

I have been thinking a lot about the changes that we are all about to take and I know this is the best decision we are making because this means that we are making a difference for our self. Do not let nobody put you down or make u fell bad. A lot of changes are coming. ARE U PREPARE????

I am definitely physically prepared and exhausted but emotionally I have been shedding tears (and I'm not a crier, I take Zoloft and that basically makes you emotionless). So I find it weird that I am teary...maybe because my longest relationship is going to be ending. Maybe?

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

        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.

      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
