I would call first thing this morning to remind them... they shouldn't be too busy early in the morning. Also, state if they can't get back to you in a timely manner that you would appreciate the phone number in order to make the appointment yourself. My doctor's office took forever to do anything so I pretty much just took over for them.

I had to go in to talk to my insurance coordinator in person because she hadn't sent in my information and wouldn't answer my calls... so yes sometimes it is just better to go in person because they can't ignore you that way. Good luck!

I had a lot of trouble to start too. The pysch office that did my eval actually lost the results and paperwork for over a month. Then they told me I had to get new dentures and then they came back and said I had old paperwork from 2006 from the hospital that said I needed a cpap. So I started this journey last October with them saying I would probably have my surgery before Christmas 2011 and here I am finally going into the operating room on Monday, God willing and the creek don't rise, as my grandmother puts it. LoL

Good luck and stay on them, call 20 times a day if you have to. They will finally get tired of you pestering them lol and get you thru, as my granddad says, the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets greased first.

Tryin' to get my Sexy back!<br />God help me and watch over me more now than ever, Amen.<br />Sent from my Galaxy tab.

      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.
