I'm in the same boat. I have all my pre-op done. The request for auth went to my insurance late last week so I'm just waiting on approval so I can schedule. I hate this limbo period of not knowing exactly when. My surgeon is shooting for the end of March. I'm hoping I get an answer soon.

I am also waiting. My stuff was submitted last week and insurance had called my surgeons office for more weight history (I hope that is not a bad thing!). I am tentatively scheduled for March 31st if approved!

I was fine throughout the 3 month supervised diet, but now that all the pre op is done I'm getting anxious to get it done. I'll be so bummed if it doesn't happen in March

I just keep telling myself to be patient. I'm noticing I'm craving junk food really bad....I guess anxiety is a trigger for me. I had been doing so well with my pre op dieting.

I am so excited. I had my last doctor's visit today. As he was leaving the room his said, "ok. next time I will see you is the day of the surgery." Now all I have to do is go to my last group session next week and then they will submit papers to my insurance company.

Based on when I would like to have the surgery I am 44 days away. A far cry from where I started from the very first day that I called and made the first appointment. Which was in August 2013.

This is my first post. Is there a spell check on here?

My papers were submitted to my insurance on the 12th. I hate the waiting. I want to know and get started already!

      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. 🤞
