I go to my last nutritionist appointment on the 22nd. Dr. Appointment today for clearance. Completed the psychological evaluation. Almost to the finish line and I'm so anxious, I'm so ready to get to the submission date. Anybody else this close???

I've complete everything except Upper Gi which is tomorrow morn . My surgery is scheduled for MArch 3 so fingers crossed for insurance approval.

The only thing I'm waiting on is a final meeting with the surgery coordinator, which was supposed to be earlier this week but was cancelled by them due to doc emergency - I'm just waiting on a reschedule. They should be submitting to insurance after that meeting and then hopefully I'll get a surgery date not too far after. I'm getting excited!

February 21st is my last appointment and then everything will be sent in to my insurance for approval. Once my insurance has approved everything I will be given a surgery date for some time in March hopefully. I'm sure praying that all goes well!!!

I go tomorrow for my pre-op class and my final appointment with my surgeon, then all I need is a surgery date and approval from my insurance company and I'm all set.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
