Hey- I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow. The 1 question that just occurred to me is if I will have to paid anything out of pocket during my checkin tomorrow. It's Sunday and I didn't ask. Does anyone have blue cross blue shield and had to pay a co-pay during their checkin?$

Most bcbs insurance actually have their policy to state you can not be charged a Co pay and you must be sent a bill that has been processed by insurance. At least that is how my dad's ppo bcbs works. It's a little different if your an hmo.

Good luck! Mine is 1 week from tomorrow.

HI All,

Hope everyone is recovering well. I am scheduled for Friday. I am flying to Tijuana on Thursday. Preop diet has gone well. Down 8 lbs.

Was there anything you recommend packing for the hospital?

Tips for Post OP?

Thanks.

      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. 🤞
