Quick Introduction
I've been lurking for a couple of months as I waited for my surgery date to approach. My pre-op diet starts today, and I thought it time I finally posted to introduce myself. I started my VSG journey in early 2015 when I attended my first seminar. I was fed up and disgusted after regaining the 80 pounds I had recently lost with weigh****chers, for the tenth time it seemed. After the seminar I discovered my health insurance had absolutely no bariatric coverage and it couldn't be appealed. After months of research, I've found a surgeon close to home that has an affordable cash price for VSG and a great program. So finally, my surgery is scheduled for 1/14 and I could not be any more excited to start this journey. Thank you to all of those who have shared information and experience, and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
Hi! I'd say welcome to the forum but that sounds a bit weird for someone who just joined herself 15 minutes ago :)
1/14 will be the best day of your life, this will be the very best thing you will ever do for yourself! I was a cash patient too, but it is totally worth every penny!
