I’ve been researching VSG for close to a year. I’ve devoured everything I could find about it and felt really informed when I went to my appointment this morning. I’m 34, 5’7” and 265 lbs. No health problems yet but I know they’re coming!

Doctor said I’d be a great candidate and after answering my questions sent me over to financial/scheduling. My insurance doesn’t cover bariatrics so I already knew the price and what we’d be paying. Scheduled nutrition, psych, and a pre-op class (all on site) and surgery is Nov. 20th!

After all my research it’s like things have gone into hyperdrive. I didn’t expect it all to happen so fast and it’s a little scary. Tell me other people wondered if they were doing the right thing for themselves when it got down to the surgery being a reality.

@colormehappy I sure did. My surgery id on the 30th and I still do. Its quite normal.

[emoji30] yet I feel mine is taking forever! Mine is the 28th and I feel like is another year to come. I started on April tho. My first seminar. Can’t believe it ... yet it feels like I’m waiting for a new beginning, so I’m anxious already.

I was sleeved 10/17. Started the process end of July. Once I had my date set, time flew. Now I'm here 4 days post op and can't believe it's done! Following docs orders, feeling good and not having any hunger or food cravings. Hardest thing right now is making sure I get enough protein and water in! HW 251 SW 222 CW 216 GW 150
