I didn't get surgery July 7th because my insurance was terminated days before my surgery.. Soooooo sad. But all I have to do is reactivate it and call my surgeon back with an effective date of my insurance and get a new date.. Anyone familiar with this happening

Why was it cancelled?

It says why up there. My insurance was terminated without giving me notice. So all I have to do it call back once my insurance is up and running again and I'll have a new date

Sorry - I should have been more clear. I was wondering why the insurance was cancelled. But no worries, you'll have a date again soon. No, have heard other reasons why procedure was cancelled last minute (doc was sick, patient was sick, etc) but not because insurance was cancelled. Might be a blessing in disguise.

It was time for renewal and didn't even think of that with all the excitement. But now it's in process of being reopened I just have to wait til it's open again and I'll have my date. I'm just being positive

Hi Tammie30 !!! So sorry to hear about your set back. Hang in there girl, it will happen. My surgery did happen on Monday 7/7. Came out great. Dr. was gonna let me go on Tuesday, but I felt a little funny, so we agreed for me to stay one more night. Happy I did stay. Started throwing up during the night real bad. Had to go NPO again. Only IV'S going and still throwing up. Dr. ordered all kind of xrays all night long on Wedsday night. He came into my room around 10:45 pm and saw my condition and ordered emergency surgery. In less than an hour he was back in clearing up scar tissue from past surgerys. Felt 100% better after that. Came home yesterday (Thursday). First night was a little rough only because I had to really take care of myself. Oh and while I was in the hospital, My son had to rush my Dad to ER at the same hospital. My poor Mom & Aunt had run between the both of us. So please say a prayer for them and My Dad. They really don't know what is going on with him yet. Now time for my weight to start coming off!!!!!!!

      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
