We have the same date! Let's keep in touch. I'm in Tucson AZ. Where are you at? I'm hoping to go from 217 to 140 lbs. how about you? I know a key will be exercising. I'm gonna start walking as soon as I can after surgery. I wasn't gonna tell my boss what kind of surgery I'm having. I'm hoping to just be out of work 2 weeks but we'll see how it goes. I'm not nervous. Just excited. I've been reading a lot about what to expect. Let's keep in touch and check on how we are doing after surgery and progressing with dealing with the eating lifestyle changes. Take care, Cathi

@@blackbenzjeep@yahoo.com Several employers require a 30 day notice for FMLA (elective surgery) so you may want to apply soon.

Woah, I didn't know that. I guess I should find that out ASAP. I'm almost a month out now.

I'm waiting on Aetna to above me. My dr says Aetna and Cigna are the hardest to get approved. I'm hopeful I have a tentative date for October 21.

I suffer the similar health issues. I should get approved. Much luck!

      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. 🤞
