cut.the.VS reacted to Arabesque in Concerns about Weight loss
This too will pass. Stalls are a normal & important part of your weight loss. It’s when your body shuts down & takes time to reassess your new needs because of the weight you’ve lost. It resets your digestive hormones & enzymes, your metabolism, etc. You’ll start losing again when your body is ready. Just stick to your plan.
If the non moving scale makes you anxious, I agree, put it away while in a stall. Try taking some body measurements every couple of weeks instead as many see a reduction in body measurements during a stall.

Hello all, I’m a newbie too. My seminar was on 1/27 and my first consult was on 1/31/23. Maybe we will get the surgery around the same time? How was your appointment?

cut.the.VS reacted to heatherdbby in 3 months post op and I'm done.
i dont think it is fair to cast your own opinion or feeling of contentness onto her..
both of you have different outlooks and thats okay - you shouldnt shame her for it.

@nettyd My consultation went well. He went over my health history. I currently have hypertension and taking 2 meds for it. So I have to see a cardiologist next month. I have to do an at home sleep study as well. I have to take a class called baratric beginnings on March 20th. We also discussed my goals and realistic expectations with vsg. He answered every last one of my questions, comments, and concerns. How did it go for U?

Hey there! My name is Kimberly. I'm new to this whole process. Literally just began the who pre-op journey. Hoping this is the lifestyle change I've needed to improve my overall health.

cut.the.VS got a reaction from qtdoll in HELLO EVERYONE. EXCITED NEWBIE HERE!
Summer 2022...I started researching, or should I say, obsessing over all things VSG. I was watching YT and researching doctors. In Nov I had a consultation with Dr Lee from Birmingham, AL. I decided to go with self pay. As far as health goes I have high blood pressure. I was informed I needed to submit my labs and clearance from my PCP. I was unaware of how fast I could have the surgery done. I have not set a date because my PCP told me my insurance would cover the procedure. I was referred to Dr Copperwheat in Georgia. I have my seminar with him tomorrow. I honestly don't want to go through the rigorous process with Medicaid but I can keep my 10995 in my pockets!!

I got mine 100% covered with medicaid, it's absolutely worth the wait! I waited 5mos but did VSG classes w Kaiser during that time & became as educated about the subject as possible. Wishing you all the luck in the world!
