Hi everyone, just incase people didn't see the earlier comment, there are two fb groups with similar names, one has stopped accepting new members but the other, 2016 November Sleevers, is welcoming everyone (it's still a closed group but just send a request) It's full of lovely folk so far

I've had to cancel my surgery date. My insurance is now saying they with only cover $10,000 max and the surgery total will be around $30,000. Originally the insurance said it was a $10,000 max for the surgeon only, but everything else would be covered. I can't seem to get a straight answer from the Insurance Company after speaking to at least 10 different people. Now what? Any suggestions?

Hi, so I did it! I'll be honest, the first few days have been rough, the nausea has been terrible. I was released from hospital yesterday evening and have managed to get down small amounts of sugar free jelly and banana slim fast. Water is a big no-no at the moment, it makes me feel so sick. But I am starting to feel a bit better and managed a shower today so I'm improving. I just can't get much liquids in without retching hard so I'm taking it easy and I'm going to just add a little sip extra every time x

Toukie-- thought you weren't supposed to be hungry? That is the ONE thing I am looking forward to is not feeling hungry.

If you drink your shakes do you still feel hungry?

      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.
