So Monday October 28 was my 6 month supervised diet and my last. So Wednesday i decided to call the surgeon office to see if they receive the documents and they said "no". I called my pcp office and they said everything was set so now im going back and forth. I was so upset that i started giving them a piece of my mind. The lady at my pcp office even gave me her personal number because it's hard to get a hold of someone in that office. So a week went by and nothing was resolved.

Wow! I'm sorry to hear that!! At least the one lady seems genuinely wanting to help you get it solved but that's so frustrating!

I hope it's resolved soon, good luck and keep us posted!

be persistent

everyone, eventually does get the paper work settled!!!!

hopefully approval/blessing :unsure: in near future

squeeky wheel et al, but...............i always found you catch more flies with honey............

good luck

This must happened always, because I am in my fourth month and just found out none of my management sheets were fax over , today they were finally fax over and I have two more months to go. I agree with the above statement stay on them because I see now this is common practice. Good luck.

Thanks cup cake. It's just so annoying waiting on them to work, when all they have to do is fax some papers over.

When I started pre op my doctor was the member of one doctor group at my 6 month mark she changes and my 6 months of weigh ins don't count! Had to start over another 6 months! Fast forward I got it done had the surgery in May and I am down 106 as of today. I have 1 more pound to go to be under 200. I haven't been there in 20 years. So hang in there you will be happy with the results.

I was lucky found great doctors and the surgeon had everybody in house! Weight loss, psych, nutrition, exercise it was great and well worth it. He was a center of excellence.

      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.
