13 More Days And Im Freaking Out



Recommended Posts

hello all...

Im 13 days away from when my surgery is scheduled for, tomorrow i go for my pre op tests at the hospital. today i called the surgeons office to see where i was in the insurance process and found out that insurance company wanted a psy evaluation which my dr sent but had to be resent today and they also wanted a letter of things ive done this past year for weight loss. Now im losing my mind could they mess up my plans of having surgery the 13th???

Surgeons office doesnt seem worried about it but im freaking out. Ive logged on to Horizon BC/BS to watch my authorization but all it says in pending more information..

Omg could this all not happen and im so close. anyone have anything similar to give me some ensight

Keep the faith. If it does get pushed back, its ok. Tryand stay positive. Its going to work out just keep after your surgeons office. And keep track of all conversations. Who you talked to, date,time, etc....good luck

My psych eval took one week....and thats only because I had to go back on two Wednesdays (my only day off) to complete it! I hope you can get one as quickly! I am also scheduled for the 13th - Lets keep in touch!!

I have bcbs of nc. My doctor office says that they love bcbs because they are very pro bariatric surgery. You should be good especially if the doctor office is not worried. Good luck

Give her a hint and call her everyday! This is your health!! Ask them who they use to get the psych clearance and call them yourself. Don't let some miserable person in an office postpone your surgery!

      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
