Thank you! Yes, I am slightly freaking out. After all the waiting I've done, to have it scheduled for so soon is someehat nerve-wracking.

I was actually coming on to see if you had any updates. Woo! We can roam the halls in our flashy hospital gowns together.

I am actually really excited to have a buddy in all of this. Congratulations on getting to the final stage. :)

Is your final nutrition class also this Wednesday?

@jessgn

Yes, it is! That is so awesome, we'll get to meet in person then! I'm excited too because I don't know anyone out there yet, met a few people at meetings but don't see them every time.

I saw you post on the fb page, I recognized your picture. I'm sending you a fb friend request!

I'm still waiting on approval as well. Today makes 2 weeks and it's still pending smh

Ugh. Frustrating. I called my insurance a bunch of times to check the status, you should call them and see where it's at.

Last Fall I was denied, but resubmitted my paperwork this past Winter. I did a live chat several times to let them know that I was serious about obtaining this surgery. Keep the pressure on.

That is great @jenzds75! I know how frustrating the wait is, and the anticipation, but once you get your date the time seems to fly by! I just had my surgery on 5/31, I'm on post-op day 4 now!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
