My surgeon's office is strict about not sending a packet off for insurance until it is complete. I totally understand as it would waste a lot of time back and forth...I was submitted last week and called today to check the status...apparently, I'm on hold because the insurance company had to call to request medical records... really?! I sent three years' worth to the physician's office...and now the hold up is something you have but didn't send?! UGH

I believe everything is done in Gods timeing and will be well worth waiting for. Although I know the waiting game can be stressful. Good luck hope you get your date soon:-)

Nice going!! Glad they finally got their act together for you. Now do you have to do a liquid diet prior to surgery?

It has always amazed me how we think and speak in days and those that control so many things in our lives talk weeks and months. The waiting is the hardest part.

Also very frustrating when we have done everything we can to help these processes along, and those with the power goof up.

Last Friday I called Insurance Gal to see if they had everything (It was supposed to have been a week since it was to be submitted) and she put me on hold, came back and said my chart was still in the drawer, the counselor had not given it to her to submit, so she said she would do it right away. Well here is another week. Trying to be patient.

Keep on them or they will forget about you and your paperwork. Call each day if you have to.

I got a similar letter today saying they needed more information, information I know is in the file. So I too am on hold until I can figure out what they want and probably go and get it myself and hand deliver it to the surgeons office. I thought I had supplied them with everything, somebody along the way has dropped the ball, probably a record was not received or it wasn't worded correctly so the hoops continue, I am so frustrated IF I COULD JUMP THROUGH HOOPS (literally).I would be in better health and wouldn't need the surgery, lol. got to find some humor in this somewhere.

        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.

      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
