:frown:I am really bummed. My nutritionist called me at quarter to eight this

morning to reschedule my appointment today. Now my appointment isn't

until June 26th. While I realize this is only 2 weeks away I can't help

being very disappointed. This was the last thing I had to do before

submitting for insurance approval. I know in the grand scheme of things

it will probably never matter whether I had my surgery on xx date or

two weeks earlier. Although I am a little nervous because my husband's

company was bought out by another company and his position is not as

secure as it was. If he has to leave we will lose our insurance which

was another reason why I was in a hurry to get things done. I just

needed to whine to a group of people who I thought might understand my

disappointment, since not everyone I know can understand why this is

such a big deal to me. I know it unds ridiculous but I just want to lay down and sulk.

I'm sorry to hear that Heather. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /><o:p></o:p>

I would call the nutritionist again and explain your situation so if someone cancels an appointment, she can give you a call ASAP.

I am so sorry that you had to reschedule your appointment. I can so relate to your disappointment as I went through the same thing with my surgeon earlier this week. He is also not going to take my insurance anymore so I'm just hoping he doesn't change his mind before he does my surgery.

Hopefully the weeks will go by fast for you.

thanks for understanding. I just needed to vent. My family acts like what's the big deal.

I am sorry this happened to you. I know how you feel when you are excited then let down. The 26th will come soon. Congrats on your journey.

I agree with calling and asking to be put onto the cancellation list, and maybe you will get lucky and get in early.

My PS rescheduled me early on, and it put it back a couple of weeks, I was so disappointed--I was ready to get the show on the road!!!

Hope you get a way to get in earlier, is there perhaps another nutritionist you could schedule with?

i understand i had done everything my insurace told me to do plus they claimed i need a pych eval( i paid for )then turned everything in just for them to say "We have our own Doc" so i need to see them before anything ,it took me 2 months to get in then the insurance approved it a week later after that so i understand. keep calling everyday call and see if there was a cancelation

I know how you feel waiting. my insurance is making me do a 6 month diet and by the time I am done with that it will be november for my surgery...so if they prolong anything I am pretty much screwed...see I turn 23 in august and at the end of the year december 31st my insurance will kick me off due to my age...so surgery needs to be before then. I have been worrying about this for quite awhile.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
