I know me too. It feels like I've been going through this forever since my insurance had 6 months of requirements before they would approve.

Me too, I started the process 2and 1/2 years ago, and have been going up and down to the hospital ever since , and to other clinics . It was cancelled last November -due to missing instruments! - the mind boggles ! then cancelled again on 25th July because of extreme heat , and I finally just had it on 12 th August . I still can’t believe it’s done ! Good luck mom, you’ll. feel great when its done :-) Youre on the road to your new life!

Wow 2 1/2 years then I guess I shouldn't be complaining about 6 months. Cancelled for missing instruments & extreme heat never heard of that before. I'm sure you are very happy that it is finally over with. Thank you for the well wishes. I can't wait to be on that road as well 😁

That is crazy. Gosh, if they cancelled for extreme heat here they would only be able to do surgeries half of the year!

The hospital said it was a first for them ! To be fair,it was really extreme heat , hottest day in History in the U.K I was told . My son said it was hotter than when he was in Australia! I think they were afraid of the surgeons passing out ! Hope your blood work and ekg went ok :-)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
