Oh another thing I had found it hard to get my 64oz of liquid by just sipping but u gotta do it.... make sure you get your 60-80g of Protein... thats something I'm struggling with now but I just ordered me some Protein shakes

I'm already taking protein. Puritans pride is cool. Buy one and get 2 free deals. Saves a lot of money

I had the ds sept 13th! Honestly the best thing ive ever done! My best advice is WALK! Slow nd steady. Moving will help with the pain although its hard at first! I would say after week 1 things start getting easier! Im almost 3 mnths post op and very happy!

My plan says 1000 deductible. I'll find out on the 22nd when I go for my preop. A lot of plans in cali don't cover it. I got lucky my boss who's the project manager helped me transfer to a union site with better healthcare. She believes this surgery will help me and has been very supportive since I been wanting this

Good luck to you!!! At my pre-op, which was yesterday actually, I met with the admitting people at the hospital and had an EKG and some bloodwork. I don't have Kaiser, and i've never been to the hospital where my surgery will be at, so i was soooo lost. Hahahha. Thankful that everyone there was helpful in directing me around!

      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.
