After months of getting ready for this day it is finally here. I received my psych evaluation form yesterday and today my coordinator will be submitting my packet to Aetna! I pray that I'm one of those lucky ones who knows the verdict within a matter of a couple days. I'm pretty sure I won't be sleeping until I know!! #onestepcloser

I also wish the same person at Aetna would stop getting my phones calls. Today she not so happily told me they have 15 days from submission date to give an answer. I did ask if ANYTHING had been done at all aND she said no

Lol I wonder if we are talking to the same lady! I will continue to call everyday until I have an answer.. She's customer service it's her job so I don't feel bad.

I just got my phone call this afternoon. Aetna sent my approval over to the surgeons office this morning. I have an appointment tomorrow to schedule surgery. It took them about a week to get it done.

This is the part I'm stuck on. Aetna received my paperwork on the 20th and I'm still waiting. I'm going bonkers!

      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.
