Don't know yet, I've been kicked around, finished one program end the 3 surgeon's had a commitee meeting and decided not to complete my surgery. Rotten so-and-so's. So I have to head to a couple seminars for the other 2 programs in Columbus, hopeful they will accept me. I went and need my surgery.

But why has it been so hard for a surgeon to stick around ?

That my dear,is the $64,000 question. I did everything they asked, everything the insurance asked, was waiting for my date, surgeon's office calls and says that message. As near as I can tell after psychologist told me to my face(in the presence of my adult son) I had passed perfectly sent them a report that I was unfit, not balanced properly for surgery which you can see isn't true. So I have to go begging for a good surgeon and surgical outcome. I am bewildered and a lot angered by all this, but it will not discourage me for I am strong resilient and,lived too long to be thwarted. I will have my surgery!

Ready for this? Medicare and Medicaid and all they really requires a BMI of over 40 and mine is 47 and a letter of medical need from a licensed physician which my PCP was very happy to do. Oh I believe it's all in that verdompt surgeon's lap, I only saw him 2-3 times, so I'll never understand why he did such a thing. Why string me along for that period of time if this was planned all along?.? I am a sweet kind considerate person and didn't deserve to be treated in this manner!

Medicare only pays a standard set amount, maybe he felt he wouldn't get repaid enough to support his lavish lifestyle? Danged if I can make sense of it all.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
