Hello all! Still no news. Reassessment was on June 23rd. The insurance coordinator did not submit paperwork until the 29th after hours so AETNA does not count it as day 1. I know it is only the 7th but the wait is painstakingly drawn-out. It is time to take care of business!!! 9 business days since surgeon approval and potentially 5 business days from the last day AETNA said they would take. I went ahead and made another dietitian appointment for the 19th in case... You know. I'm ready to jump up from the losers bench and become a starter. Let's get started!!!!! AETNA! AETNA! AETNA!

Crazy how everyone's wait time and program is different... I have Aetna and the time from my initial appointment with the surgeon to the surgery was only 45 days. The only thing I had to do was see the recommended specialists and get cleared.

Sorry you are going through so many loops,

I called again today and the insurance rep suggested I call my doctor's office since a nurse hadn't even been assigned to my case yet. So... I did. They are going to call on Monday and try to get it expedited. Hopefully, Monday will bring an answer.

      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. 🤞
