I'm in Missouri; sleeved 5 days ago on Jan 31. I can't believe how good I feel after five days; i'm able to get down the Protein & Water without any issues. Best decision ever!

That is me to a tee. I am 5 months from my surgery date. My insurance requires 6 month phone counseling. I have had 2. I have meet with GP and have my psych appt. coming up in 2 weeks. Am really excited and nervous. Afraid I won't be approved and I will be heartbroken. Have you had your surgery? What stage are you in?

I am 5' 2.75"

High weight was 224 in October, which put me at 40 BMI, to qualify for surgery with no comorbidities.

Surgery weight was 221.6 on 1/26/17.

1 week post-op official weigh-in was 213.8 on 2/2/17.

Current weight around 211.

Days 1&2 were miserable, I could barely swallow a tablespoon of broth and a tablespoon of Gelatin each day. I got up and walked the hospital halls for 10-20 minutes about six times each day.

Day 3 was much better and I've been getting my Proteins (60-120 grams) and liquids (64-100 ounces) in every day since day 4. I was doing 5 minute walks around the house at the start of every waking hour until my post-op appointment. Now I'm working out 3x/day, usually two 20-minute walks plus one 40-minute workout with weights.

Oh, and my insurance is Medica, my plan just required 1 visit with dietician at least 30 days before surgery, psychological clearance, plus being either 40 BMI, or 35 if you have specific comorbidities (diabetes, etc)

@@kimber111 If you are logged in you should see "quote" on the bottom in line with the "report" button. The only time I don't see that is if I've somehow wound up logged out!

Let me know if that helps!

      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. 🤞
