@@christo5 Not only did I feel like that I did it ! I bugged them so much they said they weren't allowed to call me with results only send a letter that they actually did call me with my approval! I guess they didn't want to hear my lovely voice anymore!!

Surgery is 11/3. I. Only my liquid diet. I would probably still be waiting for a letter...I'm not a patient person in some respects.

I called my insurance twice. The first the rep said there was no paperwork submitted. I called my case manager right after that call. The second time I called them, I got my approval. I knew before my case manager lol. Shut, I never received that approval letter either lol. I totally feel what you guys are going through.

YES!!! Mine was submitted on 10/3 with a tentative date of tomorrow and still no approval! I'm going crazy and I have called pretty much every day :(

Mine was submitted on 9/24. Then they asked for more records on 10/3 ... which they received on 10/6, but, apparently this restated my 3 to 15 working day clock. Still waiting ... I'm climbing the walls. :-/

I attempted to call my insurance company yesterday, and I wasn't making any progress at all!! On the bright side, I checked the mail and ended up getting my approval letter.

Good luck to those still waiting for a yay or nay!

Waiting is the worst! I hope you all find out soon. Waiting for approval, even though we know we all did everything right and jumped through all the hoops, is nerve racking.

Good Luck!

      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.
