Excited And Nervous At The Same Time



Recommended Posts

I'm soooo excited to share to a group of people like me that I received my surgery today....yeeeaaaa!!! After going thru my 6 month weight management and then being denied, I finally got my date today for Oct.5. I've been a Google freek all morning reading different post. So I decided to just go ahead and join in hopes that others testimonials can be aa good help to me as well as mine once I'm well on my way. Thank you in advance for your help!

"THANK YOU"

I was denied the first time because my of my BMI. When the papers were sent to the insurance company, the incorrect BMI was sent over. And with the ins, you have to be a certain BMI to be approved.

OOh my goodness that makes me mad! Im glad you got it straightened out!! I wish you well!!

My surgeons office probably thinks im nuts because I always call and double check to see if they have everything they need as of now, and if its accurate lol. I called just today to make sure they had my sleep study stuff AGAIN because last week I asked and they had not recieved it (this was 2 weeks after my sleep study)!

I am super paranoid! lol

Lol.....u sound like me! I've done that as well as called the ins company to see what they could tell me as to why it was denied. I knew it wasn't anything they could tell me, bn as I have worked in a doc office b4 and know about the inns companies, but I just tried my hand. But yes, I stayed on top of my primary doc office to get my monthly papers faxed to my surgeon office. The good thing is, if something didn't come or was missing they'd call me. I'm really looking forward to having this procedure done. I get Migraines and lately they have been really bad. My neurologist told me that this may help me and that the hospital in which I'm having my surgery done us an excellent hospital with great docs. But good luck to u!!!

      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.
