So new update.
I got a call from Boston medical center clinical evaluation is April 3rd. I have completed all my requirements thus far. And made my surgical goal weight. I am slightly higher right now. But I'm hovering on the mark they wanted. So fingers crossed looking at end of April or mid May . Just have to wait for my insurance to approve.

On the road again- just can't wait to get on the road again, sorry Willy Nelson but I do like your lyrics a lot. So the,path from Haverhill to Boston has suddenly got smoother! Great great great. That's only a little over a week, excitingly good news. Are you getting ready emotionally and physically for it all? Gosh I am happy for you but so so envious. I know my day will come also but
I want it NOW! [emoji20]

Patience grasshopper. My journey didn't come without bumps, landmines and sinkholes.
I tore my planter facia from my foot, I had Achilles tendon issues. I was depressed. The 1program I was in at holy family in Methuen was aweful. The " nutritionist" would tell me to try something. I'd do it. Then say oh don't do that.

Ooh I am going to stay the course, friends like you help me to stay on track. I'm sitting here taking a hit off my nebulizer. Promised. PCP I. would use it more faithfully. My son said I looked like a jet pilot when I started with my Cpap, you can imagine his remarks when,i sit here with flexible plastic tubing and a mouthpiece clenched between my teeth. He inherited my dry wit, alas. 1st time he saw it he said "Hmmm are we going scuba diving or snorkeling ?" Now he just walks by and shakes his head.. I guess it does help some, hope he doesn't submit a picture of me like this or the C Pap to B.P.for comic relief. I just hang on for the sake of hanging on some days, but we all have those at times. Someday I will look all fit and thin and submit an after pix. Doubt if I'll ever submit a before because I find it depresses me. I don't have enough self love or confidence to show the world at large my exterior. I'm not ugly enough to stop a grandfather clock but I have made a few alarm clocks stop ticking. But the new improved frust8 with a little work and,my future tool, I can maybe look GOOD. Bottom line I will feel better about myself.[emoji13]

Hi! I am also a Bostonian, though I am going through Mt. Auburn. I hope they can get you in soon! That’s terrible that it got canceled! At least most of the snow is gone and we BETTER not get anymore. I’m officially over winter!

I wish you the absolute best tomorrow! I got a bit nervous for you when they said there was snow in the forecast... luckily it all melted immediately :)

        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
