Waiting for my insurance for approval



Recommended Posts

I'm so anxious calling everyday checking the status on my insurance and PCP. I hardly sleep at night on forums and you tube stories. I just hope my lord blesses me with the approval of this surgery I'm 230 my highest weight was 2 weeks ago 242 and I was so depress I felt like dyeing I starved my self this couple of days and went down 12 pounds in 1 week and 3 days. I'm pretty sure I will gain them back as soon as I eat something again but that's how my body always been I never been able to maintain a healthy weight. I have high blood pressure and get so fatigue when I walk its so embarrassing to me. It's been my dream to lose weight I've tried so many things but always gain the weight back. Looking for support in this surgery my fiancé is sick and tired of me talking about the surgery he does not like the idea. He says I might get some other guy. Omg how would I do such thing. Anyways I will keep you guys inform if I get approved. Omg please lady's pray for me and this approval if not I don't now wat I'm gonna do living with this depressing body....

Fiusha, I don't know why your insurance won't tell you! I pray for all of you waiting for approval. That was one of my big fears, along with denial, but I was REALLY blessed and mine approved while my Drs office was on they phone with them submitting my info!

I understand,girl.

Your story is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too similar to mine. At my highest weight I was 242 and now 230.. if I lose 5 more pounds I'm in trouble. Disqualify, :P

Praying for hunn... good vibes. :)

        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!

      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
