I just got all my financing figured out (insurance won't pay) & the doctor's office just had a cancellation that works out perfectly for me to have my consultation tomorrow for VSG surgery. I'm a teeny bit nervous since it's major surgery, but I'm really at immense peace about the whole thing now. I started a blog for my journey - My Gastric Sleeve Life - if anyone wants to follow it!

CONGRATS! It's time to let the inner Goddess out now! Rock on and will be thinking of you.

I am so excited for you! This will all pass so quickly (looking back, anyway!).

You are going to go through so much emotion - stick in there!

This is some of the first days of the rest of your life...you will always have "before" moments that you will never forget, good times and bad - but you now have a whole other "rest of your life" than you perhaps thought you might. make the very best of it!

God bless!

Congrats! I had my first consult yesterday! So excited! I have already done everything insurance requires all I have left is my dietary class! Waiting on insurance approval now insurance coordinator said she doesn't see any issues so I am keeping my fingers crossed! I am looking at a June possibly July surgery date! Any idea of when yours might be?

Duh! You haven't had your consult yet sorry! Let us know how it goes! Good luck!!

Tlaff79 - my surgery will probably be in mid May. I'm self-pay & they told me they can normally schedule it within 3 weeks of the consultation. I'm in college right now & have finals until May 11th. I'm hoping I can have the surgery that following week though - 3rd week in May. I should know more tomorrow though.

Had my consultation earlier today. My surgery date is May 14th or 15th (they have to verify with the hospital & let me know for sure which day)! I'm sure these next few weeks will go by super-quickly because I have projects and final exams for college now in addition to the medical tests that I have to get done before surgery!

Congrats! Things are moving right along!
