Almost about to be sent out !



Recommended Posts

I'm so excited and nervous!!! Finally finally finally this time has come to where my 6 months can be sent out to insurance.

I got a little side tracked since I had Emergency surgery on getting my appendix removed in Sept 13', so that set me back and I had complications after for a month. Finally got over that and got better. Yay!!

But this past monday my primary care dr forgot to add Cleared for Surgery on the letter. Which for my insurance ( Cigna ), you have to have "cleared and recommend for surgery" in the letter. So had to go yesterday and talk to the surgeons office and then go downstairs to my primary care dr to write a note on what needed to be added. Then got a call this morning on the way to work that they had added cleared for surgery in the letter and had faxed it over to my surgeons office!! YAY!!

Then this afternoon got a call about from my insurance coordinator about how everything is all set and that the only thing is now is to have my surgeon review everything for me then it will go off to insurance !!

Now the wait begins for everything to be reviewed by my surgeon and sent off!!! I'm getting excited!!

I know the feeling. My info was sent in last friday (13th) and the waiting game has been killing me....everyday I get on the computer to chat with a representative to check the progress and it's still pending/being reviewed

      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.
