I should be having mine in June. I have one more appt after Monday and hope to schedule my surgery. does anyone know if they will go ahead and schedule the surgery while you are waiting for insurance approval?

They scheduled mines before approval and my surgery was approved 1 day before surgery

They scheduled mine 4 weeks before my surgery because i was afraid that my insurance was going to change and didn't want to have issues. as soon as my last nut visit it only took a day to get approved. good luck :)

I agree, they will go ahead and give you an attentive date, just for insurance purposes. My first date was the 20th, ive known my date since march, just got approved today and they pushed my date up to the 17th. on day approval.

I've made it to the 14 days left mark, it's all nerves and emotions from here. I am picking up all my Protein and supplements from the surgeon's office tomorrow. I am paying my dietitian fee as well. My insurance is picking up the tab for the surgery. I am getting so excited I can hardly sleep. Can't wait to be on the other side.

I have set a goal for myself to be 300 or below on the day of my surgery. I haven't started my pre-op diet yet, I am sure I can meet my goal by the end of the 14 days. My pre-op diet starts next Wednesday. I have pre-op next Thursday at the surgeon's office for 4 hours then I go to the hospital to do all their pre-op stuff. I am going to be real busy that day. I have never met my surgeon, but he is really well known in my area. So I am kinda nervous about meeting him. I did see him a few times when I was in respiratory therapy school. So I have seen some of his work up close.

I plan on getting the house cleaned up real good the six days between pre-op and surgery. I'm only supposed to be in the hospital one night, so to much destruction can't possibly happen with just my hubby and dogs at home alone one night. Of course, I could be wrong. :)

      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.
