So sorry to hear about this!! You are in my prayers. Just still take it one day at a time. You've come too far to stop now. You can do this and the insurance will be worked out, you have options so don't panic now when there's nothing you can do about it. Just remember what the goal is and keep working towards it because it's not out of reach!! Stay strong!!

Good. Glad to hear that you'll find things out on his end and I pray that you get in sooner. I think I'm going to try to get in sooner with my Psych to get the ball Rollin here.

I would if I were you. That's the only thing I have doubts that I will be able to change because she is always so booked that you have to make the appointment with her a couple months in advance. But I will ask if she gets a cancellation or something

Well I have about one month to go for the 6 month supervised weight loss requirement and today it was announced that 1200 men are being laid off and 8 mines closed 4 of them here in West Virginia where my husband works. WHICH WILL MEAN NO INSURANCE!!! I am so scared and stressed out too come this far and so close

Hopefully all will work itself out. Remaining positive in a time when it seems like it cant get any worse will allow you a peace of mind. I'll send prayers up for you not only for your surgery but also for strength for your family if your husband has to be laid off. Right now you can only control the controllables and everything else will be alright.

Ok update. Just got off the phone with insurance coordinator for surgeon office. There is no way to fast track my appointment this coming Monday the 24th or my psych evaluation on October 3rd. But this is what they are going to do. She is gathering all my information right now and getting it ready to send and she wants me to schedule an October appointment with PCP as my surgeon will be out of town and she can't get me in to see him sooner. So October 4th I will do weigh in with pcp and as soon as he faxes the info and she said to have pysch submit that day or next (she works in same office) she will send for approval so by October 8th she will have it sent. So hopefully my husband's job can last at least a month

I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Went thru something similar. I had done everything and had my surgery date of August 7. One week to go and insurance said they wouldn't cover it unless done at an institute of quality. I was so freaking out. But luckily my surgeons nurse was nice enough to help me find a hospital with that rating. And within a week i had meet the surgeon and had a new date. I had to travel 10 hours away but i did have my surgery last Tuesday 9/11. So don't give up hope yet. Sending prayers.

On sorry for all this..who is psych with? Can u comm communicate with psyche ny email and further explain your situation..Amy was good at confirm king my date when the insurance informed them that my coverage would end in less than a el. I got auto on a wed n Amy called hospital to have me put on schedulethat next Monday. All your logs in? Can your primary doc work with you at all, i do know the 30 days applies in most mines. My little girls dad WaS laid off last Fri from patriot near cabin creek. They have kept coverage for thirty days. keep look in n for any small loophole this is a test. I would also ask for a consult with the insurance by phone where your primary can plead your case..stretch your Faith. Ill pray

My psych evaluation is with Peggy. Yeah Amy said she was getting my information and as soon as Peggy gets her the evaluation and then my pcp is going to get me in on October 4 and that is all needed. Dr shin is out of town that week so can't get an earlier appointment with him. I can only pray they hold off till after then. I told the office if they have any cancellations with Peggy to call me asap!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
