How long did it take?

I started this process October 2015. When I completed the steps that were required by my insurance company and my surgeon then my surgery packet was submitted to my insurance company..it took a week and a day for an approval.

My pre-op appointment is on July 25th unless there is a cancellation and the lady who I spoke with said my surgeon is really good with setting appointments two weeks after pre-op appointment so we'll see once I see him on the 25th. Hopefully someone cancels and I'll come in sooner lol. Do you have a surgery date?

Sounds great, good luck! Mine is on August 1st. I met the all the goals and requirements in April, and they were already booked until August! Apparently the surgeon doesn't have many surgery days. It's been a long wait trying to stay good!

It sure has been a long wait but we are almost at the end! I'm assuming that I'll have surgery in August as well. Crossing my fingers that someone cancels though lol. Either way I'm so happy!

      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.
