Hey there all you happy people, so after a week of phone tag my doctors office finally got all my lab results to my surgeons office. I called my surgeons office to schedule for the pre-op appointment for get the ball rolling to get a surgery date and they told me that the surgeon needed to review the labs before we can go forward with anything. I asked the receptionist if everything looked ok and she said that she couldn't discuss it and that if the surgeon wants to proceed that it would be up to them. So here I sit with phone in hand waiting.

To my knowledge my labs should be good my nerves are just racked.

The surgeon had my pcp do the labs then send the results to the surgeons office, my next pcp appointment in towards the end of October, my health insurance changes on the new year so I must have surgery before my insurance changes because the new insurance will not cover it. The new insurance will however cover the appointments after wards. My current insurance has already verbally told me that they will approve it, we are waiting on the surgeon to decide if he wants to do it.

      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. 🤞
