Recommended Posts

I'm approved!!!! After 6 months of insurance requests I finally got my approval letter today! There are so many emotions that I want to jump and cry and throw up all at the same time! My husband and kids are almost as excited as I am.....looking forward to a healthier, happier mom!

Anyway, didn't want much else, just had to share my good news with good people who understand.

Thank you everyone....

I haven't found out about a surgery date yet. The surgeons insurance lady only takes care of insurance papers a couple days a week. When I hadn't heard from the insurance company for 6 weeks I took it upon myself and found out that it had gotten sent to the wrong department, two days later I got the paperwork. So it didn't surprise me today when I called to see the next step to take and she wasn't in again. I'm still so excited.....can't think of anyone else to tell so gonna have to calm down a bit for the night!

Thanks again, I have really enjoyed "peeking" in on you all this last few months. I've learned so much (some of which I didn't want to know!!) and can't wait to learn more the next few months.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
