I had to do a 4 month diet which I actually did 5 months. I couldn't weight more on my last visit then I did on my first. My BMI is 37 but I have hypertension and sleep apnea

I still had to wait a while and do all.of my requirements but as soon as the paper work was submitted they responded and I couldn't be any happier. They tell you in the beginning you they have up to 45 days to respond

I'm getting a little nervous now. I was down on myself during the holidays. I was with my boyfriends family who are all super fit and I kept wondering to myself "why did he choose me" so of course I ate my feelings. I'm sure I've gained a lot.

That's great news! I was approved in under two days and it definitely makes the process much less stressful!

      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.
