Sorry Ladies Can't Make it on the 24th



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I have a full plate on me on the 24th. I have to go to a field trip with my Daughter to Crowders Mountain and then two birthday parties. It stinks! I am sorry but I can't make this one. I will miss you guys! I go to the nutritionist tomorrow for an official weigh in. I am now at 189! Life is good!

Thanks,

Angie

Angie,

Dr. Baumans office said that the nutritionist might would do the fee in payments. Did you pay the full amount up front...or did you work out payments? Thats the only part I'm nervous about going to Dr. Bauman. I have all of my records and such from Dr. V now, so just waiting on my appointment with Dr. Bauman to see how things play out.

Thanks Ladies! I wish I could go and I hate it that I have a bunch on my plate for the 24th, I almost cant fit everything in my day! That is Awesome Kim I hope you hit that 50 pound mark that would be great!

Yes Melissa, Dr Bauman's Nutritionist splits the payments. You pay for the first visit 100 dollars and then after surgery you start paying 100 dollars every month. They do not submit to insurance. Once I am done paying I will submit it myself so I can hopefully get the money back. We shall see. They will work with you and I don't see a problem if you prepare and know it is coming up each month after surgery. I saw her back in April and didnt have to pay again until August. Now I am on monthly payments. Don't stress to hard about it he did really good with my surgery. He is a great Doctor.

Since I now have copies of all my evaulations I got to read what everyone said. Mixed reviews on that. LOL Not sure I liked what the nutritionist implied about my weight training, but hey the psychologist thought I was pretty well balanced, so my obsession about getting a surgery date wtih some doctor soon is most like a perfectly healthy thing. LOL I went to a meeting tonight with people I hadn't seen since May, boy were they shocked to see I had gained weight and not lost. Ah well...soon soon.

Since you are not going to be there on the 24th angie you need to post a picture so when we meet in October we will know who to look for! Your weight loss numbers are great.

Way to go Angie! I can't wait to hear what the scale says.

Kim I bet you'll meet that 50 mark.

I started my liquids today. I barely made 800 calories, which I really am not all that happy about. I think 1000 is a good # to lose, not sure how fast 800 will do.

Melissa, did they give you anymore answers today about where and what Dr V is doing? I would really like to go.

        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
