After 6 months of nutrition visits, a Dr supervised diet, and a Health Insurance carrier that filed bankruptcy & shut down on Nov 30th, my new insurance company just approved me! I can't even believe it. I'm so happy, relieved, excited and so very grateful to my surgeons office staff who have been so kind & helpful. ????

So glad to hear you finally got approved. Do you have a surgeon date also? Good luck with everything.

I too have been waiting and waiting to get approval. My 6th visit with the WL Surgeon was Monday Nov 23rd. They submitted my paperwork despite the fact that I still had a breathing test and a stress test to do and am waiting the results of the stress test. The Surgeon leaves next week for his out of the country Holiday vacation. We are looking at Jan. I am sure that will be more money that I will have to give out and I am on disability.

Plus here I am today trying to arrange for someone to come out and look at my Hamar lift that gets me in and out of the house and is not working. Sorry to be venting on your thread but things aren't looking good for me this Holiday season.

Sorry to hear you got so much going against you! Try to keep your head up and know that what is meant to be will be. This whole process is like a roller coaster with lots of ups and downs and right now just feels like a down. Keep going 1 foot in front of the other and don't worry about the rest. Trust and have faith in God and watch him blow your mind. Take care :)

@@ssflbelle, Destiny is absolutely right, this process is quite the roller coaster ride. Complete with nausea and stress. Hang in there, I'll keep you in good thoughts that everything all comes together & you'll be approved very soon.

Thanks Destiny and Susan- Your both so right. The Cardiologist just this afternoon cleared me. Now I need a blood work up again as Junes doesn't count any more for some reason. Once that is done the PCP hopefully will clear me and write out the medically necessary form. But surgery will still not be till Jan as the surgeon is going out of the country for the Holiday. I sent friends requests- I need all the friends and support I can get.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
