Has Last Weight Loss Visit And They Are Submitting To Insurance.



Recommended Posts

This morning I had my last visit and they told me they would be submitting to insurance this afternoon. Now the really hard waiting begins. Please wish me luck! I am not nervous about the surgery or life style changes. My husband was banded a little over 3 years ago. I am nervous about the wait and approval.

Yes the good old waiting game.. during that time I ate all the food I new I would not be eating again and started buying everything I would need for my new life... I'm 2 weeks post op and I have lost 22 lbs,,,,I had my stomach folded in half and the lap band, I also had a hernia repaired that I had no idea I had. I feel good and the soreness is sooo much better and the gas is tolerable. good luck with your new life keep in touch

I'm waiting also my paper work was submitted to Inc on 5/25/12 it's been a week and I'm really having a hard time waiting, if I'm not busy it's on my mind, and when I call BCBSMICHIGAN they say they've not received any paperwork , I call the Doc office and they say they did. I'm not good at this waiting especially after 6 mo of visits.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
