I got a call from the Surgeon’s office yesterday confirming I had everything done on my checklist. She also congratulated me on hitting my target weight & said I’ll be leaving Tuesday with my surgery date!! Wooooottt 💃🏾🥳👏🏾 These last 2 weeks seemed to move slow because I didn’t have anything left to do, but to make sure my papers were faxed. Wow, this is really happening & I can’t wait to start my official countdown!

As of today, July 11th, I completed all of my requirements for my Surgeon & Insurance ! I’m still waiting on the results from my Sleep Study I did June 11th & my Upper GI I did yesterday (he should have it by now). There is nothing left for me to do, but to see my Surgeon for the 2nd time July 30th. Unless I have to do something else regarding the Sleep Study & Upper GI results. I should be receiving my surgery date on the 30th as well & I’m super excited! I had my 1st consultation May 28th. I’m down 16.7 of my required 15lbs ☺️ The only thing I’ll be doing within the next two weeks is making sure the office has all my documents needed that will be submitted to my Insurance. I’m making a call in the morning to make sure they received my faxed papers 🙌🏾👏🏾. So many times I felt like, was this even worth it? But, I had to remember my reasons why I decided to get WLS. I’m hoping for a late Aug surgery date. I’ve been told my insurance is one of the easiest to get approved by, so I don’t see any reasons of why I wouldn’t get approved. I’m remaining hopeful as anything can happen. If you have an IG, follow me! @CurlyGirl_GetsFit

Thank you!

Good luck! Your surgery date is getting closer! How are you feeling knowing surgery is right around the corner? I’ll only have a 2 day liquid diet. I wasn’t sure how long at first, so I prepared myself by doing a liquid diet myself for a week.

How did your surgery go? I hope all is well!

I wasn’t allowed too. No corn, no potatoes.

I’m hoping for late Aug! I should be receiving my date July 30th. I can’t wait to find out ☺️

Congrats! I can’t wait to get my date!

Hello! I’m Simone and I’m 24 years old. Just like the majority of everyone else, I tried every diet under the sun. I loss 30 pounds by myself & gained it all back plus more. Last year I tried the Keto diet, loss 10 pounds my first month and gained it all back plus more as well. It gets discouraging to lose weight and gain it all back. I recently started my journey to VSG. 5-28 I had my first consultation with the surgeon at Mt. Sinai in NYC. So far, I have everything scheduled that I needed to schedule myself. The only thing that isn’t scheduled is the sleep study which they’ll call me for. I’m pretty excited for this journey & my new lifestyle that’s to come. I also have to lose 15 pounds by July 30th (when I see my surgeon again). I’m currently down 3.7lbs from June 1st. Today I have my Cardiology Clearance. It had to get rescheduled from yesterday due to them scheduling me on a day the cardiologist doesn’t come in. It was pretty annoying having to go all the way there just to find that out. But it is what it is. I’ve been using Instagram to post my journey so if anyone wants to follow each other, leave a comment with you IG username or you can follow me @CurlyGirl_GetsFit .

Good luck to you as well! I have MetroPlus. I just had my 2nd weigh in today (literally walked in my house from it) and my 1st Support Group this evening. The only thing left on my list is Psych Eval on Friday, 1 more support group in July, Upper Gi, & 2nd Visit with my surgeon & also my 3rd weigh in. I’m currently waiting on the results from my sleep study to see if I need to do anything extra with that.

Ohh at the one on Amsterdam.

It’s showing every Tuesday for me on the paper I have. Are we at the same Mt.Sinai location? (I posted the photo). I’m going to call that Monday as well just to double check.

It’s showing every Tuesday for me. Are we at the same location?

I see the support group date of the 9th! I shall attend that one. Hope to see you there. ☺️

I just started the process yesterday w|Dr Park at Mount Sinai!

No surgery yet for me. Just had my 1st consultation w| my surgeon yesterday at Mount Sinai. I’m thinking about getting the VSG
