I'm planning for either December or January! I have just one more requirement to do around the NUT appointment and then we can submit. I am leaning towards January due to financial concerns but we'll see ... I can't wait!

I'm hoping for late Nov. or early Dec. I still have 2 more visits before they submit me for approval.

I'm hoping for December too, I work in the school system and I'm hoping that for Christmas break as extra time for healing before going back to work (I'm a lunch lady and it is physical! A lot of heavy lifting, pulling & tugging and on the go walking in the door)

I'm a teacher, so that was my plan too - I'm still really nervous having to take the week before break off for the actual surgery, but oh well. I want the two weeks - it's not worth it for us to rush back and have complications, right??

I agree. I'm really hoping for a 4 wk recovery and I don't even have a surgery date yet. My last test is coming up next week I'm having a stress test and I go back and see the cardiologist sept 22nd to get my cardio clearance letter and I'm thinking my paperwork will be submitted to the insurance the first of October. (I started my journey in March and I am so ready already!)

      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. 🤞
