Well I was under the impression that I was approved but I was wrong. The reason I thought I was approved because I called my insurance company 3weeks ago and I spoke to someone and they said I was approved so I was excited. So I've been calling my doctors office to see why haven't they contacted me to start my diet or to give me a date but I haven't got any response from they I leave messages everyday but nothing, so any way I called my insurance company bac and they tell me my case is on hold and I'm like what? Someone told me that I was approved but do anyone know what on hold means

I'm so sorry!! It sounds like the dr may owe them info. Maybe that's why they are not calling you back?? Fingers crossed!!

I was thinking the same thing, the insurance company may need additional information from your doctor's office. I would go to the doctor's and speak directly to them.

Good luck.

Is your surgeons office close to where you live? If it is go over there and ask them whats going on. If its not then keep calling them a few times a day. Don't give up!!

It could be either your PCP or surgeon. I needed information from my PCP and ended up having to delay my surgery for a month because of it.

      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.
