Hello All,

Yesterday 10/14/11 my paperwork was submitted to Tricare Prime for lap band approval. I started my lap band journey on Sept. 20th and I have done everything that Tricare Prime has asked of me. So, I just ask all of you to pray for me that I am approved.

Thank you

Nikia

On Tuesday I received a call from the insurance coordinator at the surgeons office stating that my paperwork had been kicked back from Tricare because there was missing dictation from the surgeons report. She says they have a new dictation system that has been having gliches and for what ever reason only half of the surgeons notes was submitted. Then she goes on to say that the surgeon would not be back in until Wednesday and she would have him redo the notes over and resubmit the same day as well as give me a call back once she resubmits on Wednesday. Well today is Friday and I have no idea if she resubmitted my paperwork or not because she never called me back and when I called her today to check the status I got her voicemail stating she is out of the office 'til monday. I am so frustrated right now it is not even funny.

I hope that once my paperwork is submitted there will not be any issues. Thank you for your best wishes.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
