Does anyone know if Dr Toby Broussard accepts United Healthcare? I was going to cash pay but now I have medical insurance so I'm thinking of going that route if I don't have a long wait.......

I have my last appt with my NUT on may 2nd. At that point everything *should* be ready to submit to insurance. They are thinking last week of may or first week of June for me. I am having surgery in Norman w/ Dr. Ronnie Keith.

I have finished all my pre-op testing, except for the endoscopy and they are thinking a July surgery. They can't submit for insurance approval until after my July 2nd appointment, so fingers crossed until then :)

My last NUT appt is end of June. I haven't heard anything about an endoscopy or sleep test. My insurance doesn't require them. So hopefully I will have surgery in July!

Lucky you, KenneKat...no sleep test. I hated that thing. I don't sleep well to begin with, but I slept worse than usual during that thing...of course I don't know how they expect anyone to sleep well during it, with all the wires hooked up to you :)

      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
