Hello all

My name is Kayla I am 27 mother of 3. Tired of feeling hopeless about my weight. Had my doctors appointment and waiting for approval from internal team and insurance. I can't wait to be on the losers bench. What did you all do to keep your minds from going crazy during the waiting period?

I pretty much live here lol

I lurk here, and watch you tube vids from veteran sleevers, who documented their journies. Vsg kirk is probably my fave. Then there is lessofsarah, sleeved franklin, katie vsg. It is really helpful to see them before, after, and beyond. It keeps me somewhat sane, and prepares me for what can happen, good and not so good. I also have 2 friends that had it, so I ask them tons of questions.

I read posts on here every night and hounded everybody about getting all my screening appts as fast as possible. Go to support groups if you can! It's hard to wait but before you know it, you will be in pre-op with an iv in your arm.

Well let's see, I am on here as soon as my house work is done every evening, as soon as I get up, I watch tons of youtube, have a countdown app on my phone, mark the days of b the calendar on my fridge like a kid. Nothing much. .lol..congrats to you!

It's a hard wait for sure. I related it to being pregnant....you just have to wait, and wait, and wait for something you're so excited for. I started a blog while I was waiting to document my journey and I still post on it weekly now at 13 months out. It's linked in my siggy. I would say follow some blogs or you tube channels of vet sleevers so that you can be as prepared as possible! Good luck on your journey.
