@@melva66 I am so happy for you. Now I would love some help from you. I have been battling demons today. My husband (who is behind me 100%) says to me.,.."what if......You're denied? What then?" I'm at my highest weight. My BMI is in range, I have had this issue all my Life and I I have dieted forever with only minimal results. My Insurance approves everyone else who has been through all the hoops. Why should I worry? I need some positive vibes, please. I'm feeling so deflated right now. Please please please send me some positive vibes.

I was nervous of the same exact thing!! Don't worry yourself, you'll get approved!

I have had the same thoughts. You just have to try and think positive thoughts about it rather than thinking negatively about it. Know that there is that chance but that you have done everything you can for this all to go through. There's nothing more that you can do and if you were to get denied it wasn't meant for this to be the time. That's what I've been doing!!

well, I went up to the bariatric hosp today and submitted all the required paperwork. They were a bit shocked when they saw I had everything with me. Stuff they were going to instruct me to go get or get appointments to get. Done! Lucky for me I have friends who have been through this recently and coached me. :)

It took awhile to get approved from my insurance company. I was told by them that the holidays were the reason for it taking so long. Keep your head up and stay positive! You've 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.

      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.
