Now the waiting game....



Recommended Posts

I finally made it to the day that I can have the Insurance Cordinator submit my paper work, I now see what everyone was talking about when they said your anxiety was high while waiting on a yes or no. I am very hopeful that I will get an approval but theres that little thought that keeps saying nope not you. I just keep praying about it and keeping my hopes that I will get good news.

Thank you for posting. All that I can say is that I totally relate. It seems that this whole three month program is a waiting game. Waiting for this one to approve you, waiting for that one to approve you. We must really want this badly to be jumping through all these hoops. Congratulations.

Congrats and good luck! I had my final medical clearance and insurance coordinator submitted for me this past week as well. I am freaking out. Worried if I don't get approved I'll sabotage myself and emotional eat to kingdom come. I am hoping for a positive outcome and the soonest surgery date possible lol. I started this process in March but since I live in a small state the appointments are always filled and most doctors have a 30 day waiting time for appointments.

Here's to hoping we both get good news soon!

How did I get over the nervous feeling? I didn't. I have a bit of free-floating anxiety each day. I mark the days on my calendar. I just do anything to keep busy and keep with my program so that they will have no excuse to extend my date or not to do the surgery. This thing is always on my mind. Ugh :blink:

Good luck to us all.

I'm still here. Went to the mandatory support group meeting tonight.

I'm feeling more positive that this is actually going to happen. But, then I'm afraid to believe that this is going to happen for fear that I will be disappointed if they don't approve me.

For the most part, though, I decided to go more w the positive feelings.

Prayers for us all.

The waiting game sucks. I am on the final wait. I have my approval, surgery date just waiting for that day to get here. Each waiting stage had it's own set of anxiety. None of it fun

      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.
