I was just given the surgery date of November 24th, but we don't have approval, yet. I'm really excited! I'm also scared that I'll get excited and have my heart set on the surgery, just to be turned down. I guess there are people that can relate, huh? I want to know, RIGHT NOW!

LOL, I can relate, Ginny. Though I have my date, I am technically still waiting for my approval. I did the psych eval on Thursday, and she should have the letter to my doctor's office by Monday. The doc's office says after insurance gets that, they should okay it within a day. I also worry, what if... :eek:

:mellow: Hi Everyone, my surgery is scheduled for November 7th. I am very excited but now I am very scared after reading this site. Does anyone have any words of encouragement? I was originally scheduled for 10/10, but due to an insurance issue, I was bumped until later. The wait is the hardest thing!!! Anyway, I wish everyone luck as they get their surgeries!

November Bandster too! My date is set for November 24th. My surgeon sent pre-op test for my PCP to do. So I have an appointment with her in the morning. Blood test, ekg, x-ray, etc...... I have an appointment on the 16th for final pre-op, with the surgeon and the anesteciologist, since I have never been under general before. I have had c-sections before so I know what to expect with gas pains. :mellow: Not fun!!! I don't have a pre-op diet, however, I will be eating higher Protein meals during the 2 weeks prior. I do think that everyone that is pre-op feels the same emotions at some time or another! Good luck everyone! I hope that you sail through your surgery quickly and come out in good health!

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

        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
