Doctor Office Nightmare



Recommended Posts

Hey all

We all expect to fight for this surgery from an insurance standpoint right well how bout from the surgeons standpoint no way huh

Well this is what has happened to me my insurance company are actually being an advovate for me the doctors office politics are a nightmare they screwed up some paperwork and wont admit to it and one person is actually lying to.try to cover it up. We need trust in the surgeons office we choose and i have lost that trust with them. So i am going to.choose a new surgeon and start fresh soooo frustrating. So i have been battling this crap since march with this office. And i have become exhausted. At least the insurance company is on my side. They are filing a greivance with the dr office in question.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I hope you find another surgeon that is willing to work with you.

My first thought as I was reading was why are you not going to another doctor-LOL. Where are you from? please do your research for your next doctor, there is plenty of information on line. If you can't trust your doctor and his staff who can you trust???

      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. 🤞
