I got my insurance approval Tuesday. But I have to lose weight before the dr will give me a date. 10 more to go. Been on liquid only for the last two days, hoping this helps speed up the process. This is the second time I've been through all this, the first time my insurance coverage dropped and I had to stop. I'm ready to just steam roll through this and be done. Pre op class monday.

I'm waiting for mine approval I first had to get a letter from my primary dr saying that I need the surgery, then I have to see a nutritionest, and now I have to see sic evaluation and then I go back to see the surgeon. I hope they don't tell me I need to be on a supervise diet. My primary dr put in her letter that I need the surgery do to that I have life threatening health problems, and when I saw the nutritionest she said I should have it right away as well do to my sugar levels are close to the 300 and my BP is high even taking meds. Does anyone have this problem to.

      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. 🤞
