So, my surgeon's office FINALLY received all of my paperwork from my Dr on Friday, and sent it off to my insurance company today!! (finished my six month diet on June 4th). They told me it could take up to 30 days to hear a decision, but I'm really hoping it doesn't take that long!! Fingers crossed for an easy approval!

I was just like you. I finished my supervised diet Friday (6/14) I Didn't trust my GP nurse to fax the paperwork to my surgeon so I did it myself. The surgeon contacted insurance Monday, and I called the insurance today to make sure the paperwork was submitted and I was already approved!

Call the insurance and ask about the status of your paperwork. I did and I was already approved! Apparently most (like mine) mail you a letter in 7-10 business days..ugh

      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. 🤞
