Yes, I have an appt with my surgeon on Monday. Finished all my consults, now I go see him on Monday and then have to wait the insurance. I'm scared to death they won't cover it. I think they are the most nerve wracking. Good Luck with your date!!!

I'm here with you. I just completed my last month on the supervised diet that my insurance required me to do. Now I'm just waiting to be seen by my surgeon and the insurance decision. I'm soooooo nervous that the insurance company will deny me as well. But I'm hopeful.

I am playing the waiting game as well... My surgeons office just submitted all the paperwork to the insurance so I am just waiting for approval so we can move forward... I just wanna get this done... Sorry that was bit of a whine.... Good luck to you all and may everyone's insurance say yes! :D

I was all set to go. I had completed all of the required tests and classes and had my surgery date set for July 30th and BAM!!! My doctor is not in my network? How can that happen if I've been seeing him for months? Still trying to work it out! So frustrating. Makes me think about giving up on the whole thing!

I was so there just a few weeks ago. I obsessively checked my email and phone. It took 2 weeks to get my stuff submitted and 2 weeks for approval. I never thought it would come, but it did, and Aug 27th is around the corner.

I know this feeling all too well! I'm normally pretty patient, but this is nerve wracking!

My approval is done so I'm just waiting for the office to call me with a date. Talk about hard! I wish they'd just tell me when they think they'll call so every morning I don't wake up expecting my phone to ring.

Good luck to you! It's almost here!

I was in limbo for about 2 months. I had everything done but my PCP, changed practices before my letter was faxed to the surgeon. I had to wait till he was in his new practice, and have an appointment with him and get him to get my medicial release out. All this while working 60 hours a week drinking Protein shakes for 2 meals a day.

It is all in the past and I have my date for August 6th. I'm ready for my sleeve, and some time off from work. Woot woot!

      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. 🤞
