I know how you feel. I have been approved by insurance as well but the scheduler has not called yet. I think I am being obnoxious and am calling everyday, but this is life changing so I think I'm aloud to be a little obsessive.

Let me finish this...lol

I waited 2 weeks before I emailed. Was told I would hear something in a few days. Waited another week and then was told that the scheduler was out of the office for at least another week. Finally got my date on the 27th of January. It felt almost disrespectful to me that they kept putting me off. Just be honest and tell me it is going to be 4-6 weeks or whatever. I put off several things in anticipation of a January surgery date and now things are all discombobulated and with the way my pre diet is effecting my moods who knows what will get done.lol

Good luck!

Well for me I have a surgery date.of 2/19 and all I need to make sure is that I am approved before I get completely happy. Although I'm positive everything will go through. Can I call my insurance company to find out if a request has been made?

YES U Can! I did and had my doc do a doc to doc consult with the approving dr at the insurance co.... Approval in less than a week from convo

And he told my doc one thing I was missing that I took care of two days later. My doc faxed copy of proof of resolution of issue to the insurance co. Doc and I got the approval by phone two days later.....:-) good luck!

I had a problem with insurance at docs office so I just called customer service at my insurance company. They were very nice and gave me current info.

      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
