I'm waiting on Aetna to above me. My dr says Aetna and Cigna are the hardest to get approved. I'm hopeful I have a tentative date for October 21.

I suffer the similar health issues. I should get approved. Much luck!

I've been postponed twice, my "new" date is 9/19. I'm probably the only freak on the planet super excited about starting the liquid diet since I've had my hopes dashed and had to rework my life around the changing dates.

Bring on 9/19 and a new way of life!

I've postponed my surgery twice, too; I thought I was the only one!! My date is 9/15, and I can't wait. The first time (May), I was on day 13 of the liquids-only pre-op diet and had a horrible chest cold. Anesthesia called for my pre-op consultation and said no way were they taking me to surgery the next day! Because of personal stuff and such, I rescheduled for July 21 only to have to cancel due to a family emergency; that time, I was only on day 6 of the pre-op diet, LOL! I am psyched to get started, and have no qualms at ALL about that pre-op diet- I've GOT THAT!!

@@Wmmarie we are sleeve sisters - I'm scheduled for the 19th as well! Now I just need to get through a few more hoops: EKG, pre-op exam and the dreaded pre-op liquid diet. Right now I'm trying to knock off the 2 lbs I gained after my qualifying appointment - sigh. I cannot wait for the 19th though, so ready for this!

Hello! The tune is going quickly. I start my pre op diet on 9/4. I am ready. Making lists of last minute questions for the surgeon and what to pack. Very real now.

I have an appointment Tuesday for my surgical clearance from my primary, then I can get my date scheduled. They said sometimes you get a date less than two weeks away. I need to be healed enough to spend a day at a wedding on the tenth or schedule after the twelfth. I can't wait til I just find out my date so I can make plans.

I'm struggling today - ate like I haven't eaten in weeks. Going to have a couple of days of shakes to get myself back on track. Happily I have realized that I never want to feel this full and gross from food again and that I much prefer the way of eating that I've developed during the leadup to surgery.

I'm suppose to have a date for September but the lady that handles the insurance part just has my file sitting on her desk while she takes a vacation! Why couldn't she do it before hand it wasn't like she didn't have it for two weeks already! I want to cry, I know impatient but the suspense is killing 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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
