Hi Hon,

I am lucky that I didnt have to wait to qualify ( UK self pay) I know that you have to do all sorts that would have really disheartened me!

Congratualtions on getting this far!

Dont worru about the surgery hon, I am 5 days out and other than being tender I feel fine.

Keep strong!

<p><p><p><p>I know exactly how you feel! I also had to do the 6 month Doctor Supervised Weight Loss Program for my insurance. I started in March and ended in August. Before I was finished with the 6 months I got everything else out of the way (psych eval. and visit with the nutritionist, etc.). I have had to do so many things to prepare for this surgery and it is not easy, but you just have to think about the big picture. Think about how the lap-band can change your life. My surgery is finally scheduled for tomorrow, and I could not be more excited! So yes, it is a long journey, but I really think that it will be worth all the waiting. Hang in there, it will be through before you know it!</p></p> <p> </p> <p></p> <p>weight.png</p>

      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.
