Today is the deadline for an answer by insurance



Recommended Posts

Today is the day insurance has to render a decision, and it's going to be a long day! Insurance said they will fax the doctor upon their approval... Don't know if the doctor will immediately notify me or not, but I am sure they will be hearing from me (I will try not to bug her too bad! )

Umm, sometime Insurance Companies are late. Best of luck, and you WILL be approved in the end!

Yes, I know insurance can be late, however, I intend to hold fast to the idea of believing what they told me... Even if it is a fantasy. Tired of waiting :)

Good luck. I hope you're approved. I'm waiting for my insurance, (1st request). I have Humana PPO Federal Employee. The request for approval ws submitted 10/20/13 but my insurance has 30 days to make a decision. I'm REALLY praying and hoping for a surgery the second week of December.

Sometimes fantasy is good. I called the insurance company and found out I was approved!

Holy crap! Now what! :)

After calling the insurance company, first thing in the morning on day fifteen (the insurance deadline), I was approved!

Now I am waiting to hear from the surgeons office!

      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.
