So I went to my first appt on jan 14th..met with the nutritionist and the PA...the appt took about 3 hours...then on jan 17th met with the psychologist...got the paper work for his approval on i think jan 24th...waited until the 29th to have the PA call me back saying the psych eval was good enough for them as well...had my appt on feb 4th with the surgeon. jan 31st the docs office submitted to the insurance company...called on the 1st to make sure they got it and just got a call saying i'm approved!!! yay!! so now i have to wait until the docs office opens so that we can set up a date!!

I still need to lose a few more lbs...and fast...any suggestions?

CONGRATS LABS! Your doc will probably put you on a pre-op diet ... to drop some extra pounds to shrink you liver. You will probably be on the diet for about 2 weeks. But congrats girl and I am soooo happy for you. You will be on the banded side soon LOL. GOOD LUCK AND BLESSINGS 2 U!

Yes! I have 2 labs a chocolate and a black lab. and I must admit my chocolate lab is my baby! he's always right by myside. Our black lab is alot more independent and only wants attention when she wants it but our chocolate is an attention hog and he needs constant love! must be a male thing!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
