My last appointment is on May 30th so I hope to have my surgery end of June when I take two weeks off for my birthday. I doubt that will happen so I'm guessing some time in August. Congrats!

Cool. I don't know when I'll find out I just know i needed three visits with the dietitian and my 3rd appointment is June so surgery should be mid July. Have u completed all your test and nutrition visits? When did you start the process?

I completed all my testing. My last appointment with nutritionist is this month. I started in November I had a couple of health issues that needed to be addressed so I had lots of testing and doctor appointments. It has been a very long road for me. I had two doctors that were very negative about me having gastric bypass so I replaced them both with doctors that both are so very happy for me and very supportive!

Cardiac exam is quick & easy. I noticed that with heart specialist they may have a full schedule so its good to schedule the cardiac appointment as soon as possible but if you have already scheduled it make sure you go to it. The reason why I am saying this is because they fill up quick and when I rescheduled it took me another 3 weeks to get in. So try to avoid rescheduling so you can get that clearance. I also had to go through an extra exam with my heart specialist so that caused another delay. The sleep study was ok for me they woke me up throughout the night so that wasnt the best sleep. I have moderate apnea and I am on a full mask cpap. If you do have sleep apnea they will order a c pap machine before your surgery. Insurance pays for it but you have to use it or they will stop paying for it. Before I got mine my nurse told me you have to have the cpap machine before your surgery& also bring it with you for the hospital stay post op. I finally got my machine and it so very helpful. Like I stated in an earlier post. This is a process and at times it will go fast and then go slow but still in all it brings you closer to your surgery date. Just keep working on getting all your pre op finished and keep the smile on your face. Youre almost there. Happy face

      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.
