Super excited that I just got approved, surgery is Monday 2/1

Wow! That was a pretty close approval to your surgery! When did they submit the paperwork? Good luck!!!

They submitted it 1/21 and I called the last few days and they kept saying it's pending. Well this morning I called and asked for the reviewing department and I spoke with an individual and explained to him that I'm due to have surgery on 2/1 and he told me he was going to expedite it. Stated that I should hear something by the end of day today. Well I heard back within 4 hours. The wait is finally over.

MICHELLE RING!! Oh my goodness, I'm a high school Spanish teacher in western Mass having surgery Wed Feb 10th, planning on being in my classroom on Monday Feb 23rd. Let's stay in touch to see how it goes, I've been a bit concerned hoping I'm not in too much pain, discomfort, etc to do my job which as you know, is a really tough draining job.

      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. 🤞
