Honestly, I don't know what happened, but I got a call this afternoon that they reversed it and I'm back on. The insurance coordinator at the center I go to has told me all along I was good to go. I don't know if she just thought that, or if she got verbal approval, or what. But I called first thing this morning and left messages with both the coordinator and the BCBS contact from my letter. Then nothing. No response. So this afternoon, the insurance coordinator called me and said she'd been on the phone several times with them and they asked for a 'peer call' with my doctor. She said they reversed their decision and I can go ahead with the surgery in the morning. Better believe I called them and got an approval confirmation number!

I'm so confused about it all. It's been an emotional roller coaster. It's a good thing I was so upset all day...I couldn't eat anything. Now I can't sleep. I guess that must be normal even without all the craziness. I wonder if they do this last-minute stuff often. Sure hope not. It's horrible.

Unless they call me in the middle of the night with another reversal, I'll be up at 2:00 so I can leave at 3:00 for the 90-minute trek to Daytona beach. I need to be there by 5:00 for surgery at 7:30.

Wow! Can't believe it's going to happen!

Sending you warm wishes for no further complications. I'm on Thursday. I've had a cold over the weekend and was afraid I'd be rescheduled. It's a roller coaster for sure. Good luck to you! Report back when you can!

I am five months post op from the sleeve and down over 100 pounds since day of surgery. Due to complications with my new pouch, I am going in for revision surgery to partial bypass on Tuesday March 18th. So I guess I'm an October and a March surgery ;-)

What kind of complication did you have? (If you don't mind me asking).

Because I lost so much weight so rapidly I got the 0.02 % of getting my insides twisted, literally twisted and kinked. :/ Keeping a positive attitude though and I have NO REGRETS what so ever! Best decision I ever made! Granted I wasn't expect to have the surgery and give month post op needs to go in for revision, the journey was well worth it. Wishing everyone the best of luck and quick recoveries!!

I'm march 12th, too. Getting nervous and excited. I've wanted this for so long and now I feel a little overwhelmed. Next week I start on my two week pre-op diet. I can't believe it's here! I'm only taking a week off. Good luck to all of you!

How did surgery go? How are you feeling?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
