Steve, I'm guessing I would have heard by now but the doc was in italy last week and never signed my paperwork b/4 he left. The office clerk said she will call me in a few days or as soon as she hears. Thanks for asking :) How are you feeling?

Danno, thats teriffic, I'm glad you found a great doctor. If you don't mind me asking, your insurance company approved you with 65 lbs to lose? reason I'm asking is because most insurances say you have to be 80+ lbs over weight with a few health reasons to be approved.

My BMI was 38, As long as your Primary Doctor says, its medically neccessary, it was approved! Weight now 265, probably down to 190 in time, With Diabetes and other Meds, Lipitor and more, It was accepted

Gee Danno, sorry you had all those other problems, but on a good note your gonna be healthy in no time :) :) :) Men always drop weight like its Water (well most of them do)... :D

Steve, good to see your out and about. Are you allowed coffee the next day? WOWEE I love coffee and that would be something hard for me to give up. How many weeks are you off ?

Ahhhh its a beautiful day in Jersey, the sky is just brilliant baby blue, my favorite color.

How is everyone today? I need more coffee and some oatmeal.. BBL

Danno, Is Great ! Had a Atkins shake for Breakfast, I guess I'll get use to these for 6 weeks or so, They do have 20 grams of Protein, 1 gm of Sugar, so It looks much better than Slim fast.

My Doctor said that when I reached the weight of 222, I should be able to come off all medicines, not sure, just a guess at that time.

      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.
