I bet your anxious as well , playing the waiting game.



Yep pretty much although I'm trying not be. I take the pre-op nutrition clad in the 24th and the surgery on the 2nd.

Hey Guys & Gals [emoji1480]
I just finished my last Nutritionist appointment today and I am totally psyched,nervous and a little .. well a lot anxious. I wanted to create this thread to open discussion and new friendship, I have 15 days for my insurance approval and I'm crossing my fingers. My surgery date is August 7th, I'D LOVE to have a sleeve buddy ! I'm an open book !



I'm in the same boat, as I did my last weigh in appointment this past Monday. Like you, my packet was sent for approval and I'm DREADING these next two weeks for a response from insurance lol My surgeon said more than likely my surgery date is set for the middle of August. I'm glad we are all in this together. We all can support each other up here. Good luck to us all #LosersBench

I know !! I think I'll wait a week so I'll probably call Tuesday just to harass my Insurance again.

I am going to be sleeved in Aug.

Received all of my clearances so far including Insurance which is VA, just 1 more to go (Cardio, and have been told they support it) and then it is about time for pre-op, which is going to be hard for me. Kinda need some support or feedback on the pre-op and of course the post op most importantly.

I'm tentatively scheduled for August 28; I still have an upper endoscopy, an at-home sleep study, another group meeting, and clearance from my primary doctor to go. My program is extremely thorough: I've already done cardiac and psych clearance, nutrition visit, first group meeting, a GI test . . . whatever hoop I'm told to jump through, I jump.

I feel fortunate that my pre-op diet is two shakes a day and a "real" meal for dinner--lean Protein, veggies, a piece of fruit. It seems like a gift compared with the totally liquid diets so many programs require. But I have great faith in my surgeon and the program.

Best of luck to everyone!

      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. 🤞
