Here is the latest I saw. It isnt the total bill and it is for surgery only. Now I am not paying for fills or visits, no idea how it all works (as far as paying).

I wont know more until after the holidays when I can call and find out what everything is.

I am totally shocked. I paid 7000.00 period. Amazing doctor and he also takes insurance.

That is amazing!!!! How in the heck do you get in 80-100 grams of Protein on 900 cals a day? Please let us know what you are eating! Congrats!

You can do it w/ fish - Sole is my favorite. Packed in protein low on calories. And you only eat protein not anything else no carbs. Or not too many carbs ie less than 50 grams.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to wish everyone a happy new year if I don't get back on here before then. I also lost 4 more lbs last week which really shocked me because I didn't get to exercise like I usually do because I was out of town. I also had wine and a little bit of Pastel de tres leches which is a very moist cake and I also had Tamales, but I guess I didn't eat quite as much as I thought. So I am 2 lbs away from Onderland and I still can't believe that 71 lbs is gone and it has only been 5 months since I started the pre-op diet and 4 months since surgery. It also snowed today and it was very pretty. Well getting ready for bed, waiting for hubby in my new nightie I bought for Christmas. It's amazing the confidence I have gained even though I know I still have 60 or so more lbs to go. That is my new year's resolution, to get to goal or at least past 160 which I haven't weighed since I was about 14 or 15. Happy New Year!;)

Hi, everyone. It's been a while since I posted here, but I wanted to check in. Looks like you all are doing great.

I was excited this morning when I weighed in...I've lost 50 lbs! Getting close to the halfway mark to goal. I'm very happy with that amount.

      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.
