I go on December 21st for my first appointment at the University of Chicago, so I'm hoping my surgery--if accepted into the program--will be early 2017.

I am scheduled for gastric sleeve on January 24th, 2017 in Columbus @

THE Ohio State University... GO BUCKS :) I have already been approved by Aetna and just had my pre-op appt with my surgeon yesterday. The surgeons office submitted my short-term disability to my work already today and I've have been approved for that as well. I think life is looking better and better and I am looking forward to springtime/summer with me being more confident in short sleeves and capri's!! One of my short term goals being off work for a while is hoping for more energy is to clean my closet. I am sick of the clutter, the shoes that fell on the floor and no energy or desire to clean it out bc I'm tired, lazy, and nothing fits anyways. I will have "new to me" clothes as I lose weight... out of my own closet ;).


Can someone tell me how you start a new topic on bariatric pal? I can't figure out how to do it on my computer or on my iphone app. I'm lost! LOL

Mine is scheduled for March. Haven't scheduled the exact day yet but I am planning on a vacation to Disney before hand. Can't wait! Thankfully with my insurance I only had to wait 4 months from consult to surgery!

Yay! Congrats

When you are on the regular forum, there should be a pencil in the lower corner of you are using your phone to view. That will allow you to start a new topic

      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. 🤞
