Hi, I'm Jill and I'm new here. I have completed all my requirements for the sleeve, but it's been a long emotional road to say the least.

I started with the requirements in August of last year. Everything was going fine with my appointments until the surgeon's office submitted my packet to United Health care before it was completed. Needless to say I was denied. Now I have BCBS insurance and a new surgeon! I'm just waiting to hear if I was approved and get my date!! I was told sometime in December. I'm so anxious I can't wait!! I am so ready for this that I approved by ready started my pre op diet and I'm down 11 lbs!

Anyway I just wanted to introduce myself. :)

Good luck. I have a bc/bs plan and my approval was very smooth. First appt in late July, approved late August, surgery in September.

Thanks! I have heard that it's easier to get an approval through BCBS than UHC so I'm happy about that! I think I will get approved since I have a bmi of 50 and high blood pressure, but you never know!

      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.
