O I just got a email from my patient advocate that my secondary insurance finally approved my surgery. My surgery is Monday the 18th. Talk about waiting until the last minute!! But I am so glad they finally pulled through because that means its going to save me a ton of money. Now I can concentrate on more important things!! Feeling very excited, and nervous !

Congratulations! Sending prayers and positive energy your way! My surgery is April 1st and I've known since the middle of February. My papers were submitted and approved the same day. which was a real shocker. I'm nervous about waiting. I'll be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers!

I have had a year riding this roller coaster with my insurance it has not been easy. I just kept at it re-submitting with more documentation and if they asked for one thing I gave them two! I was actually scheduled for surgery march 11th and got a call from the insurance that they wanted one more thing from my doctor, before they could resubmit for approval. So that pushed my surgery off until the 18 th. tthistles tray they put a stat order on my submital and I heard back today at aroundv4:30! I think I just wore them down!! Glad to hear you process went much easier! I am just glad that it finally happened. Good luck on your April date!!

I really don't understand why the insurance companies give such a hard time , at the end it will be the same result . Approved!! why the heartache and the B.S . When someone decides WLS is needed we are willing to jump run and go through anything to get the surgery . You can't shoot us down we wanna be alive again not jailed in our bodies. Congrats on your approval. You saw it thru for an entire year and it will be worth every struggle .

        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.

      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
