I think I have too much on my plate!!!! I have been working on getting this sleeve for over a year. In the mean time I applied for a MSW program and to my surprise I got in.... now I’m like holy **** I’m getting the sleeve starting a Masters program and not to mention I have a family a 15 year old, 11 year old and 1 year old... I have to do this there is no putting anything on hold I have waited what seems like for ever for both opportunities... can anyone relate???

So I haven’t even had this surgery yet and I’m already isolating my self from triggers of family, friends etc. I am seriously feeling like this is the best way for now because either people are super insensitive or they just don’t realize the words that come out their mouths. So until I’m good and ready I am MIA.... rant rave over and out

If your insurance company requires a six month supervised weight loss, you may have to do that. If your surgical team found any abnormalities, you may have to deal with whatever that is. Even if you don't have a supervised weight loss time or complications, you're still at the mercy of your surgeon's calendar. How long you have to wait may depend on how many other people your surgeon already has scheduled. Good luck!

Once I had all that stuff done, I had to have an EKG, an appointment where I drank a barium drink and they checked out my stomach, then I needed an endoscopy because of those results, and finally I had to have an appointment with my PCP to get the OK.
But awesome job getting all the hard parts done! Best of luck on your journey.

EXACT scenario happened to me in 2014, so I chickened out after 6 months and 80 pounds lost . I cancelled 3 days before and have regretted it ever since. Now I've gained the weight back, have even more pain from four more years of my weight on my knees, and so am starting over. No family told this time. Don't let others scare you out of It!

I am nervous too! (surgery in two weeks now) so I feel you there but allwet is correct . You are taking control and taking steps to live a healthy life in the future I am currently a bundle of nerves trying to remember that right now as well.

A 1% chance of that kinda outcome vs. 100% chance that the excess weight will steal the rest of your life from you one pound at a time.
Do not let others dictate how the rest of your life will be lived.

I just found out about my insurances approval.... I had been so inpatient about it and now I have cold feet... Throughout this process I kept it to myself because I didn’t want to have any seeds of doubt planted in my head. I even avoided the bad experiences people had on the hundreds of videos I watched on YouTube. When I finally decided to tell my family it was like oh yeah that’s nice.... now that it’s really happening everyone is against it. Even making me feel guilty about having the surgery because I have kids. As much as I tried to avoid it now I’m doubting myself and this process. Afraid that I will be that percentage of people that may have major complications... At this point I just need some support!
