My date got changed... since I’m having RNY doc wanted me to be first case of day so pushed back a week to April 9th. I’m ok with that! Nutrition class this week and physical testing? Not sure what that is about.

@Tuckersmom went to seminar for new program, filled out paperwork, release of information to get records from the previous dirty dog program, put in request to be re evaluated by their psychologist at Medical Center and then I guess I sit here, smile sweetly and WAIT. I hope Medicare my primary continues to pick up this new stage of my journey, scared they won't cause they paid out to the d.d. program, if I have to go to secondary Medicaid I'll have to complete 3 more months of nutrition consult. I started out seeking this August 2015, even prisoners get credit for time served. I want to join you guys in April, wish it could be sooner. Next step is the psych, then they schedule a consult meeting with me to go over my plan tailored to little me. Then if things fell into place, and I pray God they do, and I don't have to serve another 3 months, I meet with the surgeon and it's my surgical date with destiny. Oooee I want it SO BAD![emoji7][emoji7][emoji7]

Psychological exam for 2 hours April 25th at Martha Morehouse Pavilion at O.S.U., maybe the wheels are turning towards an conclusion. I hope I can convince them I am.worthy, cognizant of the risks, willing to effect a lifelong dietary change and totally committed to receive this serious a surgery. And I also have to convince them I'm not too old, for someone of my age I am pretty healthy. Bottom line do all this without sounding too nutty. Can I do this? Yes I can! (with apologies to Bob The Builder).[emoji14][emoji14][emoji14]

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
