I’m waiting for the yay or nay from my insurance Company and if so, I’m hoping to have a date soon. Either February or March. We’ll see! Would like to keep tabs with you [emoji4][emoji4]

Hi linita, I'm waiting for call-back,or letter from my surgeon's office. Tenatively early-mid March RnY. Lets be friends, and you can ask me anything also. I'm in Central Ohio, 50 miles from Columbus where my surgeon and hospital, Mount Carmel, are located.

Sad story, check out my post Change Your Hospital, but I will not let this thwart me from my goal. Basically i got kicked to the curb by Mount Carmel, their 3 surgeons unexpectedly decided to not perform my surgery. The excuse I was given I do not accept. I have reapplied, 3 different bariatric programs, 1) a seminar on March 9th 2 )a seminar on March,10th 3) an appointment with an intake nurse April,10th . Of the 3 at this point I am leaning towards program #1 but will hear them all out and make a rational informed decision. My paperwork will all be transferred to the program of my choice, I did make sure of that. I will land upright, I will have my surgery and I will make those sons of Seabiscuit the horse eat their words. Under this meek mild Puddycat lies the heart of a lithe strong puma , golden and sleek. I will roar in victory when my day comes!!

      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.
