Hello how long did it take after all your pre-op testing to get your actual surgery date? I only have two things left 1 nutrition visit and psyc eval. Little tia

Ummmmm no ???????????? your basically bulimic Little tia

I LOVE this topic! I wondered the same thing i was a runner in high school and have DREAMED of running a marathon. I'm glad to see so many active runners! ???????????????? Little tia

It all depends on your insurance and your surgeon's office. When my info was submitted to insurance (on a Friday) I was approved on Monday. I had a surgery date about a week later. I went through UHC. Sent from my SM-G925T using the BariatricPal App WOW i hope mines moves that fast! Thanks for replying Little tia

Hey everyone! My name is Tia i'm currently pre-op for vsg surgery. My surgon is estimating my surgery date to be around aug-sep if all goes well with my labs and other testing. In preparation for this life long journey im about to undergo i have really started to reexamine my relationship with food. I have always been over weight since childhood and have always struggled with weightloss. When i got into my 20's. And had more freedom things spiralled out of control. My higest weight was 356 at 5'4????. My main issue has always been fast food addiction. I use a word as strong as addiction because thats exactly what it is. I would eat fast food Breakfast lunch and dinner. And go to the drive thru several times a day! Sometimes up to 4 or 5 times and alot of times spend the last of my money. then try to compensate for it with extreme diets and gym time. And i went on this cycle for YEARS, either i was binging or on a extreme diet no inbetween. I had thought about weight loss surgery briefly but ive always wanted to do it on my own. Ive always dreamed of being a trainer and coming out of this with my efforts alone. I decided to take this route about a month ago when i realized this wasnt a magic trick and i would have to put in work too. I found this book on Amazon brain over binge and i swear its changed my life! I wanted to stop the binges before i even thought of scheduling a date for surgery! This book has helped me stop my binge eating. If you are pre-op or just considering wls and suffer from any eating disorder really get your mind right first! Weight loss to me is a mind game and wls doesnt fix your brain. Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App
