Medical Clearance Approved For Gastric Bypass!



Recommended Posts

Two weeks ago I finally got all my medical data and medical clearance all together after almost a year to the insurance company. My insurance approved me within' 4 business days. When my surgeon office called me I was excited and overwhelmed with the news. They said they were going to send me a letter. Last Friday I received the letter and it read that my surgery date is September 12. On Tuesday got a call from the hospital asking me to come in for pre testing. I asked them if I could go on Thursday the 6th because my job keep denying my days off. Finally I did everything and all I could do is think and dream about the sugery. I told my job (not ask or request) that I'am taking off for surgery and I got the forms from the human resource dept. for a medical leave and I dropped the forms at the doctors office. My family are so excited and they are even following my pre op diet also. They are so supportive! They said they are going to lose weight with me too! Yesterday was my last day of work and my co worker gave me this prayer for my sugery. I want to share it also for the others on this board that are having the surgery too...

PRAYERS FOR THE HEALING

WHEN A LOVED ONE IS ILL

God, my loved one is ill. I ask for your healing power to come upon them. You give us life and you have the power to renew life. I believe in your power to heal. Open my loved one to whatever form your healing power takes. And help me remember that, no matter what happens, you are the same yesterday, today, and forever. You are always with us. Amen.

With God all things are possible. (Matthew 19:26)

FOR MY DOCTOR

Thank you God, for my doctor. Thank you for his/her skills and training. Give her the insight he/she needs to diagnose my illness and determine the right treatment. Steady his/her hand and give his/her the power to heal in your name. Amen.

And all who touched him were healed. (Mark 6:56)

I'm fine thank you for asking. I just returned to work on Tuesday and I still feel a discomfort on my upper abdomen area. I seen the cardiologist last week and he ran more tests on me and I'm going to see him on the 10th. On the 11th I'm going to see the surgeon again. I still can't believe what happened to me. Some people really think I did the surgey because I lost some weight. This time I'm not going to say nothing to anybody and just do the surgery. I' m only going to tell u and everybody else here in this forum. But will definitely keep you posted :-)

      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.
