My paperwork was submitted a few days ago. Now just wait, and wait and wait some more. This seems unreal, I started the process months ago and now I'm so close. I remember when I first got the check list of requirements my insurance requested it seemed sooooo long. I was overwhelmed and now it seem sureal. Hopfully I will be in the looser's bench in a few weeks. :)

I am with you. I am playing the waiting game as well. My paperwork was submitted last week. I used to think I was a patient person... not to much anymore...

I am hoping to have my surgery at the end of Sept... I want to be fully recovered by Christmas time so I can truly enjoy the season with my family.

I cant believe how FAST these past few months have gone. It really was all overwhelming in the beginning but as I started to check things off my list, it felt better.

Congrats on making it to the end... you will be on the loosers bench before you know it! Best of luck to you in the future!

I'm also waiting too! I was submitted Yesterday. I've contacted insurance on the review process length. They told me 2-3 business days. So I'm hoping for a call tomorrow.

6 months went by extremely fast.. It feels like I just started all this.

      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. 🤞
