That's great news for you to have certainty on the date. You're up for surgery the day before me, so I'll be looking forward to your updates!

Hopefully they make sense since I'm sure I'll be medicated! [emoji13]

Hi Jaz!

I’m in the process too! My insurance isn’t as strict, and there are only a few more classes, lose a couple more pounds, and a psych clearance I need to finish before I get a surgery date. I’m hoping for an April/May surgery date. Good luck on your journey!

I just have two more weigh-ins for the supervised diet, the psych eval, an upper GI study and the recommendation from my doctor. I am not scared of surgery except wondering if I can handle so much less food. ive lost 20 lbs so far during my supervised diet. They said it takes a while to be approved and get into surgery so probably May.

I Jus started the process also last month I got the ref to go to be seminar, I went last Thursday and they didn't have any consultation appt until the end of April almost may, which was insane . So I'm going to a different program they have a seminar tomorrow and your consult is within that week. They are also a multidisciplinary program which is great bcus my insurance ghi emblem required a 6 month program or 3 month program with a multidisciplinary. So I guess I will see what happens

      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.
