I go for my last group meeting, and meet with my surgeon on Thursday. I'm hoping for surgery to be the week before Christmas in Hershey, PA.

I'm a little nervous about insurance. This is my 2nd time through the pre process, due to insurance denial the first time (my policy didn't cover wls, even though I was told it would when I started). The only issues I have are my weight obviously, high blood pressure, and back problems. Does anyone know anyone that has been turned down because they were you healthy?

That is what I am worried about (denial due to being healthy just morbidly obese). I do not have any co morbidities that I am diagnosed with, I believe I have sleep apnea, borderline high BP, joint issues and i know for sure i have Polycystic ovarian syndrome but that isn't considered a morbidity.

I was approved and I only have hypothyroid (under active thyroid) and sleep apnea. And obviously a high BMI. Morbidly obese. I think you have to prove so many years of failed diets.

      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.
