We love Texas too. I never felt at home until we moved here. [emoji3590] If you can take your first nutrition class the same day as your appointment get it done! It's a pain and only on Fridays. I haven't done mine yet, I need to get that done lol

That is exactly how I felt when I moved here.

Was that the only requirement. I hope it is the same for me. Is the nutrition class only 1 day? Let me know what day did you schedule yours?

I think mine is scheduled for the 27th of August right now. I want to change it though. If u wanna go together let me know!!

You do have to watch the videos I believe there are 6 and 5 of them you can watch from home after the first one in the office which is the one they only do on Fridays.

Yes he actually sent me some along with a letter and stuff. I am going to try to do it sooner. Like the 20th or so. So I can have more time to watch the videos. I believe the videos start at 1030 and are every hour until 3.

Haha you did better than me. As soon as they cut open I was all NOPE! [emoji23][emoji23] He will ask about it when you see him. He gives warnings on his videos that it gets graphic ahah I thought I could do it. Haha nope. He will check your liver during the visit to like push on the belly. It was nice they even let me bring my fiancé and weren't weird about having two people.

You know I'm not sure. That's all I needed for cash pay was to have the high bmi [emoji45]. I'm new too:) I got to pick my date. I was told dr. Pilcher does surgeries on Tuesdays, if you use him. I'm not sure how different that would be with insurance to be honest.

Welcome!!!! And that is what my insurance told me too. I have my consultation with surgeon on the 6th so I will find out then if there are any requirements. As far as dates.... depends on requirements I think.

      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.
