Nice! How are you doing? My first consult was Jan 4. I just got insurance approval now waiting for them to call and set up everything. It has been a long wait. Finally have insurance that will cover it.



I’m doing pretty well! Recovery was super quick for me. When they say to start walking ASAP in the hospital, they mean it. I think it helped a lot. Sutures healed super quick, no complications for me outside of gnarly reflux. All in all, loved them!! Good luck!

I am from SW VA near Blacksburg. I had my surgery done in Tijuana MX through Bariatric Pal. Msjenae I see you are from Charlotte NC. Are you going to the Living Beyond the Tool seminar in Spartanburg SC? Jopax35 and FlyEagleFly where are you from in South Jersey? I lived most of my life in that area.

Msjenae Dr Nowzaradan is the key note speaker and will be talking about why we gain and later regain. I would love to see you there.

Katkatlady no Blacksburg is the home of VA Tech , home of the Hokies. It is where that huge massacre was several yrs ago. But it is very pretty round here with the Appalachian Trail, the New River and the Blue Ridge Pkwy. I think JMU is about 2 1/2 hrs north of us on Hwy 81. Pretty up there too.

My bad, but maybe I'll see both towns, the hourglass isn't empty yet on this ole girl. My son says as I get older I get more country, told him I'm just getting back to my roots. Yeah I remember that massacre, seems like a lot of sorrow in your area. I keep remembering a bumper sticker I once saw " Life is fragile, handle with prayer".

      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
