That's how long my process took. It was submitted to insurance on march 21 and it took three months with them. It seemed that little things with paperwork kept getting messed up. But as soon as I was approved the process is fast.

Hello --

My papers have been submitted to the insurance company and I am waiting for a reply. My doctor said for me to call this Tuesday to see where we are in the approval process.

I am so scared. I would love to talk to some people 60+ years old that have the band. I thought about the sleeve but, don't cherish the idea of being cut and stapled or stitched up. My insurance does not yet pay for the sleeve.

I had no idea that you only lost 1 to 2.5 pounds a week???? I thought it was a greater/quicker loss. I will just work harder to loose it. Also, I can't exercise much at all. Low-low-oxygen. That sure does concern me.

They told me I would be on liquids for sometime after the surgery. How can you not loose lots of weight drinking liquids?

How was your pain after the surgery? My neighbor had to have her band removed a week after she got it as she was alergic to the material it contained.

Good luck on all ya'll getting your bands this month and next. Just keep that positive attitude and a song in your heart.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

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