Tap Tap....is This Thing On?



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else feel like you are talking to yourself? I'm new here and getting lots of good information, but I sometimes feel like I'm talking to myself when post stuff...it could just be me but I figure I would ask.

Testing, testing, testing, 1, 2, 3.......Yep it's on!

Welcome, sorry you feel like you are talking to yourself. I often find myself doing just that.......It's when I argue with myself that I worry, lol.

Would love to answer any questions you have.

Take care!

Insurance approval.....that is the one area I can't help with. I was self pay so my process was very fast. The only advise I would have is keep bugging them for updates.

Good luck.

That's what I did and it was approved in three days! Call 'em! Also they can give you the approval number. My experience through this process was that the girls in the office wouldn't automatically call you with the approval either so if you want it done you have to do it yourself.

Every insurance is different. I have fed BCBS and after I got everything done, it took 48 hours for approval. Keep in contact with your doctor's office just to make sure they are on top of it!

Hi -- I am from Binghamton, NY (upstate) and you are being heard! I am a newby too -- just decided to pursue band surgery last week -- waiting to hear about my consultation as we speak.

I started down this road about two years ago but decided surgery was not for me -- that I could do this by myself -- well, I couldn't. I decided I am ready for this journey and ready to make the commitment needed to be successful. Keep tapping -- people are listening!

      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
