May I ask why you were denied?

I was sleeved on Jan 11. My starting weight on surgery day was 242, now 4 days post op I am 231. That's right I am down 11 lbs. I was in the hospital one night however on Saturday night I wasn't feeling good so my husband rushed me to to the hospital! I was dehydrated, after 14 hours in emergency I felt much better. Today I am feeling so much better. The hardest part the first couple days is keeping Water, meds, and liquids down. The gas pains and the sore stomach is painful, but it gets better, just remember it gets worst before it gets better unless you are lucky! I have had 4 kids and day 1-3 post op felt like death. Thank God that is in the past. Looking forward to shedding the pounds.

Anyone know if there is an app that would help to set timers and reminders for drinking and such? I'm scared about drinking my Water and then eating in between water


I think the fit bit has a reminder. I think the iPhone one does too.

Hi, all- I am one week out today from my sleeve last week and just want to send my support to everyone who is still waiting. I am feeling terrific today- really good. The first few days were hard (I had lots of nausea) but quickly got much much better. I was pretty terrified of this surgery before I had it, but now I am already grateful. Down 24 pounds since preop diet, which I think is pretty great! Also just feeling content with the decision now that it’s done- I keep feeling surprised that I still feel like myself- I don’t know what I thought was going to happen, but I’m so relieved that I feel pretty normal by this point, and the only difference is being a tiny bit sore and having to take a half an hour to eat a Greek yogurt :) Getting all liquids and Protein in, and feeling so much better. Just wanted to send reassurance to any people who like me were absolutely scared out of their minds. All will be well!

Thanks for this! Wonderful to hear. I'm in hospital now and will be operated tomorrow morning with the sleeve as well as a hiatial hernia. I am nervous of course, and also sure that it's the right decision. I'm worried about not eating anymore for a while, though that's the point, right? I imagine you get used to it quickly. Then I'll be concentrating on my liquids and proteins!

Had my last meal earlier... From now on, only Water until 6 am, then operation at 10 am. They said I might end up in intensive for the night to be monitored for sleep apnea.. Hoping not!

      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.
