I've started the waiting game myself. The surgeons office has been reviewing my file since the 15th and have up to 10 bus. days to respond but as of Fri. they had not approved and passed into ins. Im thinking WTF .... you did most of my testing and all of my WL visits, why are you still sitting on my file?!?! So back to calling every other day this week!

Bureaucracy can be tedious. You are strong and patient to change your future. Good luck to you with a hopefully quick response

Hugs- I love my sleeve and have no regrets

Thats where I am also! These people are going to hear from me tomorrow though, I am finished playing games. I figure either let me know what you need so I can help, or send me to someone else and quit wasting my time!

It’s strange that I went through my whole life with this weight and now that I feel as though a new journey has been placed in my lap I am inpatient as ever!

You would think that since they are getting paid that they would get the lead out but I guess it's easy for them to take their time when it's not their life and health on the line!

Yay thanks so much for checking up on me! I finally got approved and my surgery date is scheduled for Feb 6th. I am beyond miserable with the Pre op diet and starving my butt off but being so excited about everything else helps. How is everything going for you?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
