Finally they sent over my paper work and it's currently pending! I'm so excited but anxious. I'm hoping and praying for a fast approval. Id like to have my surgery in July :). Anyone else waiting on approval.

I was submitted for approval today too...a bit nervous as I don't know what qualifies as "enough" failed attempts. Even if I am approved I think my doctor will have me wait a few months. I had a baby 9 months ago and they think everyone should wait a year. I understand the concerns but I also don't want to wait anymore!!!

Oh man good luck on your approval! I wouldn't be able to wait much longer then I what I've already waited. I got my approval in one day so luckily I didn't have to wait for that too long. Hope yours is fast too.

I have my last NUT appt Monday and everything else is done so they should be submitting to the insurance company soon after. I started this journey the end of last year and have a surgery date for September 2nd. So nervous about the approval though.

I was nervous too especially once I knew my insurance had my paperwork lol. I had to tell myself that I did everything right and they don't have a reason to deny me.

      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.
