Recommended Posts

Hey Ladies,

I'm not around much. Very busy with school and wrestling with BCBS. I was lurking a lil though.:crying: Anyhow you ladies are the only ones that can appreciate how happy I am. I've finally been approved!!! Everyone in my house is like "Oh that's nice" then go about their business. I can't believe it! I don't have a date yet. I hope I can be banded in October still. My Dr. is on vacation and so is the insurance coordinator. I won't get a date until they return. It's always something ain't it?!?

Congrats!!!

I'm very happy for you. :crying: I remember how happy I was and how anxious I was too. I called all the people that I told I was having surgery and they kind of responded like your house did but it's all good. Once the weight starts coming off they'll get in the groove of things. I'll pray for your health and weightloss.

THANK YOU Ladies, for your enthusiasm and support! :tt1: I'm sooooo excited. I was told today that I may be able to have surgery as soon as 10/16. I have to wait until my dr. returns from vacation for it to be confirmed. I'm trying not to think about it too much. I don't want to be disappointed if that date doesn't work out. Thanks again!

:tt2::)CONGRATS TO YOU!!:tt2:

I KNOW EXACTLY HOW YOU FEEL.

I only told my family and maybe two folks at work and I couldn't even let DH know how darned estatic I was (cause he's helping me w/self-pay:blush:). But, when I got the date... I wanted to jump thru the roof of my office! I had to go through that week of liquid diet at work with only one person knowing and I just couldn't concentrate.

Hey all I finally got my date! November 6th. I'm very excited! I don't know how I'm going to work this around school.:biggrin: I definitely don't want to wait until the first of the year. I need to get the show on the road. My birthday is in Jan, and would like to be a few pounds slimmer by then.:thumbup: Thanks again ladies for your support!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
