All I am going to say about it is that when it happen, it was not pretty, and I sure as hell was not looking forward to the OH crap being brought over here to settle again.

I have not got a crystal ball to tell whether it is a real newbie or another alternate ID for someone else. I reacted the way it made me feel-----with dread!

I have since explained my point, and since I do not go to OH ever, and this is apparantly going to be yet another thread concerning them I will just unsubscribe, and allow you all to decide who is real and concerned and who is just messing with us.

Good Luck.

No crystal ball needed. I know the OP from OH. She's for real and she's not trying to start anything. That is why I explained what led her to come here to begin with.

Kat, I thought this had all been worked out a couple of days ago and resolved as well. The OP and you had clearly worked things out and everyone had moved on. I remember all the original drama surrounding that person as well, and understand your concern, and as you are a moderator, was glad to see that you remembered that and made an effort to stop anything before it started. I think we can chalk this one up to a simple misunderstanding and let it rest now.

If you ever do find a crystal ball, I would love to know where you got it, so I may purchase one as well. I could really use one of those!!

See how that works? I thought it was all done after my post to Kat explaining what really happened. But then you came and brought it up again.

I think a better way would be to come out and ask a newbie to the boards the reasoning behind the question. Turns out, she had good reason. But instead she was not made to feel very welcome. That's the first time I have ever seen Kat do that, it threw me thus... the explanation.

Thanks so much...I found out on Friday that my appeal was APPROVED!!!! YEAAAAAAAA! Now I have to go face my MD 25 lbs more than I was when I last saw him, so I'm trying to work through the embarrassment of how that's gonna be.

Thanks to all for your good wishes!

Sue, don't be embarrassed at all! Your doctor understands and is not going to give you a hard time about it. After all, you don't have your band yet. Most importantly, you are approved! Congratulations! Let us know when you get a date.

Sue, that's GREAT news!!! I'm so happy for you.

Don't be embarrassed about the weight gain. If we could control our weight on our own, I'm just sure none of us would be having surgery. I know I wouldn't have spent $13,500 out of pocket either.

        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
