Hi everyone, I've just started my process. I have done the psych eval, initial visit, nutritional consultation, and have gathered my history. I would like a bariatric buddy, and I also have some questions about pre op stuff. :-)

Strange, it's taking me such a long time to do my appointments because they are apparently booked up. I have my first nutrition appointment December 15th and i cant even schedule a psych appointment til after nutrition appointment, according to my surgeons plan. Also I have a sleep study scheduled for December 22. I started this whole process beginning of October. Ive seen pulmonologist , had barium swallow study, labs already. November 18th I have endoscopy done. Im soooo nervous that after all of these appointments (which are all over 45 minute drive) that my surgery will be denied by my insurance. I'm praying it gets approved and also that I won't have to do six whole months of nutrition appointments. If thats the case, it would be AT LEAST May before i would have the surgery. Ugh. I want this like YESTERDAY!!!!

      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. 🤞
