Hi I am from Philadelphia I am starting this new journey and would like to know if theirs anyone out there in the beginning stages that want to be buddies. I am having my fist appointment on June 2 2017. I have started this all before but because I was missing to much work for appointments I stopped. Now that I found a Dr. Who will let me do all my test but one the same day I see light at the end. I did not tell many people besides my husband and daughter so would like to befriend someone else who is starting out. I am open to others even if already started it will be cool to also know what's ahead.:rolleyes:

I have to do a full six months before getting a surgery date I believe. I was hoping more like three so I wouldn't be down during the holidays..I have the whole gambit of issues from Diabetes high blood pressure, high triglycerides, arthritis and a BMI of 49. I am 53 yrs old 5'2 weight 276. I cant see one reason to not get sleeved.

@DJ Juice 6 months is a long time but I don't see no reason why you shouldn't have it. I will go thru the 6 months with you. I don't have any heath issues I am just fat I like sweets hell I love sweets.

@CaliCozyWozy Sleeve I think this is best for me. The band is not a option.

I dont want to wait the 6 months because I am afraid Trump will take away insurance coverage because of the pre existing conditions crap he pushing so hard. Maybe that will get Wellcare to push it to go faster..lol

@jiminy_cricket congratulations on your date. last year I brought a conversation to my sisters and my mom about maybe getting the sleeve and guess what, they all had something to say. My sister are also over weight and for some reason they think they are a size 2 not. They are just as over weight as me. I am just ready to change. The only one who I can say really support me is my husband and daughter. So this time I am not telling anyone even when I get a date. It will be hard because we are all very close.

      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.
