In all honesty, I would lay off a little. I understand your excitement but even if you get confirmation today instead of tomorrow, it doesn't mean that you will have surgery a day earlier.

And if I was your case worker, that kind of behavior would possibly make me work slower. It's not like they are dealing with people needing transplants, people with heart failure, newborn babies with health complications, people with cancer etc. - oh wait, THEY ARE! It's not like they are cops sitting around the station eating donuts all day long --- just kidding.

Just thought I'd throw in my 2 cents -- relax, it'll come and you have a lot of time left for anxiety, LOL

I completely understand where you are coming from though.....My information was submitted to my insurance company on Jan. 25th so I called yesterday just to make sure they had received it and the ball was rolling, but I feel like I want to call back everyday just to make sure things are moving along. That would be my little control freak coming out in me though ;) I have decided I will call once a week on Monday to get updated no more or no less then that (cross my fingers) :D but yeah I think we both need to RELAX or we will drive ourselves batty!!!

Good luck to you!

Now that I know they have my info and it's sitting on someone's desk....I will refrain from calling for at least 48hrs!

Thanks for listening to my crazy!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
