Not sure this will happen



Recommended Posts

Started on this journey in March. Had date for surgery September 9th. Then last month insurance changed requirements to 6 months of NUT visits from the original 4. Last week I heard the requirements were changed back to 4 so we were on for end of Sept. Then my position was eliminated after 16 years and now insurance ends Sept. 1st. I am having a harder time wondering what will happen with the surgery then having to look for another job. Bad day.

yes, a bad day indeed. Sorry for this crap. Consider paying for COBRA benefits to continue with the surgery. use your unemployment time to heal and regroup, gain confidence and find something new. I know it sounds easier that it is, but, COBRA may be an option for you. You have gone through so much and were so close to the surgery, I cannot imagine the angst. Good luck and best wishes to you.

I agree with auntjanny, Cobra may cost you a bit, but when you find another position you may not have the option again to even have the procedure. Don't give up yet, find a way.

Have you spoke with your surgeon about your situation?

I have a call out to the coordinator I found out Copra will cost $2000 a month so I really hope and pray it will still happen in September. I kept going back and forth about waiting but i really need this for my health. I appreciate all your support.

      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. 🤞
