Thanks everyone...Insurance hit me a big surprise-a 3000.00 payment before I can have my surgery. I'm so frustrated but I'm working hard to come up with it. This was a mistake they made and just caught it now I'm stressing!!

Oh that stinks. Hope everything works out. I have the money out up for my surgery but only jut enough so I am hoping there aren't hidden costs that the insurance company comes up with.

I was so upset that they came up with that at the last minute. I was warned about UHC..it's ok though I'm not letting that stop me. Thanks for the kind words everyone!!

That sucks. My surgeon's office popped up at the last minute with a $500 "fee" that insurance didn't cover. Blah whatever! Hope everything works out for you!

Hope everything works out. I too have UHC. I spent $3500 out of pocket before surgery and just got a bill for $664. I feel your pain! It can be done though! Hang tough.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
