Waiting on approval



Recommended Posts

Called my insurance Tuesday and they said nothing had been submitted and when it does it will take 10 days for a decision. Then I called today and was told they received it Tuesday and would have a decision in 2 business days . Hope that's true I am ready. Can't wait to start this journey :) crossing my fingers for them to approve it.

I'm still waiting on mine too. My coordinator told me she was sending it to insurance on the 3rd, I contacted my insurance on the 12th & they told me she only started it & didn't complete it. I called my coordinator on Monday to get an update on the 15th but she hasn't contacted me back. I'll call my insurance tomorrow again to double check.

It's crazy if u don't keep on them then it seems like it takes forever . My insurance keeps saying that my provider will contact me when it's been approved but I know that sometimes all they do is mail a letter .

I rather keep checking through my insurance since I don't get the same person every time. Lol. I'll call my coordinator on Monday again if nothing has changed. I'm aiming to have surgery in August/ Late July if possible.

      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.
