TotallyPosh 19 Posted September 7, 2019 Hi!! Im new here 🤗 (but have been lurking for months 😂😂) I started my journey for WLS in March of this year, Im looking to have VSG, my insurance has a 6 month period before approval.. Ive also struggled with weight all my life.. Ive been working out with a Personal Trainer since 2012 and I will admit tht my dedication has been more geared towards the workout vs. diet. I have tried Atkins lost 50 lbs and gained it back plus some, Keto, diet pills, calorie counting.. and still have yet to break 300 lbs (except for whn i did atkins).. I am so happy to have found this App because I love to hear the success stories as well as the bad stories (evn tho they scare me 😳).. I have 1 thing left to check off and then I guess ill be waiting for the approval from my insurance and thn on to surgery... On one hand im like no dont do and thn the other im like you have done all of the test and been to so many appts just do it lol.. Hopefully ill b on the Losers Bench soon!! 1 1 gabybab and shanshan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bastian 458 Posted September 8, 2019 Hi I'm pretty new here too, but so much helpful advice and support and a plethora of info. I think I have got more info here than from my team I chose to have surgery because I was starting to show signs of metabolic disorders such as high blood pressure, sinus tachycardia etc and really they are big signs that my body was going to give up early on me. Which of course I don't want. So here I am 2 weeks post op (my last op, I had 3 in 2 weeks due to issues) on a huge learning curve about eating and mindfulness when eating and 100 other things related to my new inner workings I hope you have a smooth journey to approval and will be post op starting your new life before you know it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
