Hi Ladies! I started the journey in February and my Surgery date is not until September, but I am praying that the scheduler calls me with an earlier date. Good luck on your journeys!

Hi kellysouthpaw. I was required to complete a psych eval.

I am more than my decision to have a VSG. I am 33 years old and have been large all my life. I come from a family with a history of Breast Cancer, Conjestive Heart Failure, Diabetes, and Morbid Obesity. I plan to be different. I am a wife of 1 husband and an adoptive mother to 2 awesome boys ages 3 and 11. My background is in Professional Development and Recruiting. My DH and I have been trying to have children of our own for 9 years!! We have been and are more that ready to conceive children. I have been told over and over you are just too fat to conceive babies and every time I hear it it breaks me down. Thus my decision to have VSG Surgery. At first I was one of the skeptic about WLS. I would say "Why mess with you blueprint?" Until I realized I was one of the one that could not lose weight on my own. I have Yo-yo dieted, tried vegetarianism, and restricting what I ate. I have failed miserable with all of these things. After meeting with Dr. Jamokay Taylor he educated me on the benefits of WLS and how with a lifestyle change I could finally succeed in conceiving my babies. I am overly excited about my decision and can not wait until September 23rd when I am on that table changing my life. Thank you all for the positive support I receive daily. Looking forward to a new me! Here is a before VSG picture of me and I am looking forward to my after picture.

Congrats crosseyedtango!

Ladies I agree with you. My date is not until September 23rd. My research and connecting with like minds is keeping me positive while praying for an earlier date.

Hi Ladies. I also have BCBS of MI because my BMI was over 50 I was approved the same day as my submittal.

Awesome and moving. Exactly what I came here for, motivation.

PCP = Primary Care Physician

Good luck ladies! I can't wait to join you all. 4 months to go.

Curvy that is an awesome idea.

My PCP did the exact same thing which in turn sent me into a depression. I gained close to 15lbs without trying. Just depression eating, thinking it was over because I have struggled to do it on my on for so long. With my weight gain my Insurance approved me because my bmi is in a danger state. I am not suggesting that you gain at all! I will keep you situation in my prayers.
