I am in Central NJ.....waiting on insurance. Sooooooo frustrating. Submitted 5/17, called my insurance company this morning and they JUST got the clinicals over the weekend. Up to now I have loved my surgeon and his staff but what the hell were they waiting for to submit the clincals? Talk about STRESS!!!

It is frustrating!! My dr waited 2 weeks before submitting to insurance, I did however receive my acceptance letter within days. I hope you will get an answer sometime this week! I understand how frustrating it can be. What dr are you seeing? I am seeing Dr. Nihalani in Edison NJ.

I used to go to college in Del! Good luck with your sleeve tomorrow.

The thing that makes me mad is that I know it was submitted on May 17th, I have a reference number and the insurance company confirms it was submitted on May 17th...so why submit without the "clinicals"....GRRRR!!! My doctor is Dr. Feteiha in Springfield.

YES!!! I have a dr appointment on Wednesday as well, although I may have to change it. I live an hr away from his office so at times it is hard to miss work and get up there in time, specially when his appointments are only tues/wed.

The waiting game sucks!! For me time was going by fast, but ever since I got my acceptance letter time just seems to be dragging on.

I think I am going to try and sneak out of work. The lady who answered the phone said, we will schedule my surgery date, and schedule a preop class. So hopefully you will get the same!! Maybe we will go to the same class.

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

        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
