Recommended Posts

Just got approved!!!! Woo hoo!!!! I am so excited!!! The medically supervised diet went by really fast and I ended up losing 11 1/2 lbs. Now I'm just waiting for the person to call me that sets the appointments & schedules surgery dates! I'm anxious to finally get a surgery date and work on getting the old me back to healthy and happy! :D :D :D

Congrats on the milestone! I learned yesterday that I too was approved and surgery was set up with that phone call.

I had to sit down when she told me... I was not certain I had enough comorbidities and BMI combo to get insurance to agree. It was surreal. In my late 30s, after trying for baby #2 and going through fertility treatments etc, I had given up on the thought of us having two kids. Got rid of all the baby stuff, built a home, got a puppy... And bam, learned I was pregnant. It was a very similar feeling to me...like the impossible just happened.

Anyhow, it is all just sinking in. I need to make some time tomorrow to let it sink in. I know how happy you must be and I wish you great fabulous experiences along the way!!!

Thank you ladies! Auntjanny~ That is awesome news!!! I'm excited for you too! The only reason that I didn't get a date yet, I called insurance to find out. It is so hard to be patient. But, now I have to wait for the doctor's office to call me back to set up everything. Waiting isn't my strong point. Ha ha!

My coworker called the office herself and told them she was approved. They called to confirm and scheduled the surgery the same day. Call the doctor's office and tell them.

congrats to all ... still waiting for confirmation of 9/05 surgery date ... waiting isn't easy for me either ... but good things come to those who wait ... I'm also having trouble getting the advocate to call me back ... I think I'll take the advise and check for myself and try to contact the advocate again ...

good luck everyone ...

      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.
