Congratulations on the approval at this point I'd be grateful for that. So what's the next move is your surgeon covered just not the facility? If that's the case as your surgeon operate at any other facility?

I think I'm driving the people crazy I have called them every day since the paperwork was submitted it's been pending everyday yesterday I finally got a tracking number so I'm guessing they're actually looking at it now. When did you find out about your approval?

I found out about it today. I have to go through another hospital and another surgeon. They already submitted my chart to the new surgeon. My appt is on May 20 th. Hopefully there's no more testing because it's all done. If so they will have to approve things all over again!

Omg I think since you're approved and they sent your chart over you'll be good to go the only thing is I'm sure you have gotten used to the idea of one person performing the surgery and now you have to change gears

@dawnie_doo have you met with the new surgeon yet? I just finally got my approval this morning , they didn't give me any details so guess that means the surgeon /facility is ok I was nervous that since they are out of state I may have a issue.

I say call your doctor and check on the status. Better yet, call Aetna directly.

      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
