just home. surgery went well, first for this dr. and for this surgical center. Very awsome. I was only patient all day and night. first rate care. not much pain, just gas. cant have anything chewable and I bought gas x chew tabs. hubby at store looking for liquid and getting rx filled. liquid lortab. Did lortab keep anyone else awake?

Other than gas feel good. first time ever felt swallowing and into stomach. wierd feeling.

liquids for another week, and then appt. on Tues to see if loving to thicker liquids.

Good luck upcoming bandsters. hope your banding happens as well as mine. Thanks for all the advice.

Take me off the May list. Had to cancel d/t ins problems We are summiting for preauthorization First the said we did not have to. Today I was Informed we Dh and myself did not meet the criteria for just covering it. When they say 12 consecutive months they mean the past 12 months. from today backward. With documented proof weighing in at the Dr office on a diet don't count if you were not on a RX for weight loss for the last 12 months. Same with WWetc. what you did in 2001 or 2002 don't count. Soooooo. They said summit it again for peauthorization suggested trying an RX in the mean time. Will take 2-4 months, to get a decision

Yipee - I'm scheduled for May 26th. Of course I just had my initial consult. Now I have to meet with the dietician and my pcp on Friday. Get an EKG, meet with surgeon and get psych eval on Monday. Oops, then remember to go to Ecuador for vacation on Tuesday. And I'm out of town right now.

I love a busy life. And busy I will be when my feet don't kill me anymore, clothes are more comfortable....

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
