I just got my surgery date for Nov 14th! I am so excited. I start my liquids Nov 1st. I can't wait :)

I'm so sad :( They are pushing my surgery back until Dec 4th because their office is so disorganized. I switched insurance Sept 1 and notified the office. The insurance company rep even called the office and got everything straight for me. I verified that my surgeon was in network and vsg was covered etc. I've had 3 appointments since then and even verified with the bariatric coordinator that I had switched insurances and what the insurance rep had told me at my pre op appointment. She scheduled me for Nov 14th and I was so excited. She called me yesterday to tell me that my (old) insurance wouldn't allow me to have surgery in my state. So she bumped me off the schedule. I am so mad at the office. Firstly, why did they let me spend nearly a year doing their program when my (old) insurance would have been denied. I'm confused on that a little since I has previously called old insurance at the start of the program and they said they covered what I was wanting to do. Anyway,When she called me yesterday, I again told her that I have a new insurance as of Sept 1 and told her the front office had my info and that I had already personally talked to her about it. I am just very sad my surgery is delayed. The surgeon needs to get his office together. It is like an assembly line in there and obviously they don't communicate very well.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
