I'm so anxious and excited! biggrin.gif I just checked Humana's website again, and it is now showing the submission for approval and the status is "Pended". I'm excited that it's at least showing something! My last appointment was last friday, and it was submitted after that. I've been told it has been taking about 10 - 14 days or so for approval. I can't wait to find out! I'm probably going to be checking it incessantly until then!

I'm all set for surgery on the 16th of December. I picked up all of my Bars and shakes and supplements on Tuesday. I have NEVER had second thoughts and I am NOT nervous. I am so tired of this Roller coaster ride of yo yo dieting I've been on my entire life that I can't wait to get my band. I tend to be a person that will not read the negative comments about things that are posted online. Some people are just born complainers and nothing ever goes right in their lives and unfortunately, those are the ones that you hear from. My advise, stay focused and stay positive, and the rest will fall into place. I will have worked 7 months and 2 weeks toward my surgery and nothing is going is going to stand in my way!!! It will be a Merry Christmas and a FABULOUS New Year for ME!!!!!

Got my date! December 15th it is! That just so happens to be the date that I had picked out as being the "best" as far as my schedule goes, though I had not shared that with the surgeon. The way my schedule falls that week, I will only need one day off of work. It will also mean that I'll be past my 1 week post op liquids and into mushies, and may even be able to have a few bites of mashed potatoes with my family. We have somewhat of a tradition of fighting over who gets to sit next to the mashed potatoes :) I only have one week of pre-op low calorie, low carb diet, so I'll be able to have some turkey on Thanksgiving as well. Not that those things were the most important, mind you. It will just make it a little easier to work around LOL

I am so excited! I have confirmed everything today! I have my 4th and final meeting with the dietician 11/23. We will finalize my pre-op diet requirements and post-op transition diet. I meet with the anesthesiologist on 11/30 and start my 1 week liquid diet on 12/1. My surgery is scheduled for 12/7. WOW! The time is finally here!

      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. 🤞
