Greetings all! I've been reading the forum topics for some time now, and just got approved from my insurance company, so I figured, now that it's really real, that I better introduce myself. :rolleyes:

The path to get to this point has been frustrating, as the medical group I have been working with is going through a change, and just hasn't gotten their act together just quite yet. :blink: Here I thought the most frustrating and stressful part was going to be waiting for insurance approval.

Nonetheless, I look forward to sharing my experiences and look forward to reading everyone elses to help ease me through this whole process.

Thanks for reading!

Good luck to you too! Thanks for sharing.

After your Dr's office found out you were approved, how long did it take them to get back to you with a surgical date? I called my Dr's office and let them know I got my approval letter, but they haven't called me back to schedule anything. But it's also only been about three business days.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
