Congrats on being preggers!!!! You can get the band later, now it's time for the baby! That's wonderful.

You know, I was just looking up your profile yesterday and wondering where you were. It said you hadn't logged on since the middle of last month. Where have you been?

Been busy with RL stuff. Going through custody battle with my ex-husband. And towards the end of July i was moving and then hurt my neck. Had a minor tear in the ligament in my neck as well as pulled and strained muscles. So i was i n a neck brace for about 4 weeks. And in bed most of that time. Just now trying to get things back on schedule. Not on the computer near as much since the weather has been great, kids have been keeping me outside everyday. But yea *huggles miss ya bubble!

I would talk to your doctor and have him send a letter to Insurance asking how long the approval is for. I would hate to see you have to go all through this again. Congradulations on approval and new kid on the block. Keep us posted.

insurance said my weight loss history is for 2 years and the approval is good as long as i stay in good standing with my employer and keep the min. hours for the insurance. which is 20 hours a week :cool: plus the family medical leave act helps me keep my hours up so i wont lose my insurance when i got on medical leave afterwards

      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.
