OMG!!!!! I just got the call from fidelis! This is sooooooo surreal to me! I seriously did NOT think I would get approved. It took me less than ONE month to complete all the requirements before my surgeons office would submit the paperwork, and I've only had this insurance since NOvember 1st. I thought for sure they would deny me and request more time or more health records, BUT NOPE!!!!!!!

I can't even believe this!!!!!!

Wow that is awesome. WHat were your requirements. I'm going to ask that they submit mine early but Aetnas policy is 3 months. If I get denied at least I'll know if there is anything else that is required of me. Congrats!!!

I had to get a cardiac and pulmonologist clearance, they included an echocardiogram and a stress test and a breathing test. a psych eval, barium swallow, and go to one support group meeting.

I luckily didn't need to do any supervised dieting.

@@cryssyd3 Do you have a date yet?

I thought it was 11/25. But apparently that was just a dummy date or the purpose of paperwork. I'm waiting on a call back from the scheduler now

      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.
