Hello everyone I was told that I would have to wait until late May at best but probally June for my date. I just got approval after fighting with Cigna for over 6 months. Finally after appeal they approved the procedure. I am really scared but I really want to get it over and started so I can start living my life instead of watching everyone else living theirs. I have type 2 diabetes ans I am truely hoping that this will make that go into remission.

I'm in Dayton, Ohio....going thru Dayton Bariatric - hopefully in April. It's been 1 week since they submitted everything to UHC. I'm anxious to get this show on the road!

Looks like we will have quite a few Ohio April Avengers! It's exciting to know we have others who are close by. Maybe we can all meet up in person some day!

Turler - thanks for the offer of joining you. I was having trouble posting earlier and couldn't write all I wanted to, I kept losing it and finally went with a one liner, then it worked! Anyway, I know Dr. Curry has support group meetings at his office, but I'm not sure if they are only for his patients. I plan to find out. His office is only about 45 minutes away from me. He is on the northern end of Cincinnati.

Anyway, I go for my nutrition class on April 10th. I'm guessing I will get my 2 weeks of Medifast meals then. I'm actually pretty ready for that I think - just ready to get the show on the road!

      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. 🤞
