OMG the nerve of these people



Recommended Posts

I received a call today from the hospital regarding my approval or denial so this is how our conversation went

Me:Hello

Her: Hi, Can I speak with Ashley please

Me: This is she

Her: This is Mary from Bariatrics

Me: Hi, How are you?

Her: I am fine I was calling to schedule your surgery because your insurance APPROVED the surgery.

Me: OMGoodness are you serious ?

Her: Yes, How is Feb 5th

Me: YES, are you serious?

So I have been screaming at the top of my lungs since she called and told me...

I would not be here or would have achieved any of my goals with out GOD, HE has been my ROCK and my SUPPORTER, HE has seen me through it all and I THANK HIM

It's so funny cuz I related soooo well to your other thread about things never going smoothly for you and I knew how that felt. My papers were submitted yesterday and I'm telling myself "something has to go wrong" so I'm awaiting the bad news but I hope it works out like yours did... Congrats!!!

Go up to the top right corner and click on your name (assuming you're logged in), and then click on 'Edit My Profile'. From there, click on Signature, and on that page near the bottom, there's a part you can click on that says you can create tickers. From there, just follow the instructions. If you need additional info, please let me know!

Keep your faith, i was just talking to my sister in law who is also my BF and number one supporter and I told her how my conversations went with God and she laughed because I went back and forth with begging to.pleading to lettingbit go and back again. I am praying for you because i know the feeling. i was also shocked that it only took 3 days for an approval. My fav saying is Let Go and Let God. Never give up, your health is worth the fight

      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.
