ReadyNewM3 if your papers were already submitted i say it doesn't hurt to call the insurance and ask i know i would, just ask for the status on your paperwork i say the worst that can happen is that they tell you they are still working on it ....=)

That is great!! We found out our insurance won't pay regardless. So we are going to save and do it self pay.

Mammecan....yes i did although my date was tentative for like a day until surgeons secretary got confirmation of the Operating Room of wether or not it was available for the days that my surgeon was available which were either the 10th or 11th for me and 17th or 18th for my MIL (my surgeon works out of 2 hospitals both the same but different locations maybe like 20 minutes from each other) and one of the hospitals has private rooms for the patients after surgery so we decided to go to that 1 (not having to share a room with anyone else and being able to have someone stay with you i think is a PLUS) and my surgeon also has access to the Robot (advanced technology) like he called it in that hospital to work with but i got confirmation of my date within a day and then my paperwork was submitted 2 days after and approved in less than 48 hours.

My hubby has been sooo supportive about the whole process to the point that he is doing pre-op diet with me and is loosing lbs really quick himself so thats been awesome and he wants to do liquid diet with me after surgery lets see how that will go for him lol gotta ♥ them and their support =)

That's exactly how I found out. I called them and said that my dr office submitted for bariatric surgery approval and I was checking the status and if they needed anything else. Give them a call and let us know how you make out, fingers crossed!!!!!

      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.

      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.
