I'm even more excited now, my paperwork was sent to insurance on the 15th. I called today to check in and got GREAT news. She said "Well, everything looks good they're just waiting on one more thing" Uh-oh, I thought something hadn't been received but they are actually just waiting for verification that the hospital was in network. Well, I know it is because our insurance comes through that hospital...my hubby is an MD AT Alegent!!!!! I think this means approval will be final on Monday or Tuesday!!! YIPEE!!!!!

Woohoo!!!!!! They just penciled me in for surgery on the 12th of March! Holy cow, how fast is that?? I was hoping for late March/early April. They did say that after my appointment at the beginning of March and depending upon the surgeons schedule for that week they may hve to move it back to the 19th which would still be amazing. I'm just delighted!!!!!!

      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. 🤞

      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.
