I was approved last week; wher do I begin?



Recommended Posts

Well Hello everybody! ;)

I was finally approved last week after a long battle with the insurance company. My surgery is set for early October with the a pre diet staring 2 weeks prior. I don't know why after so long fighting to be approved, I am starting to feel afraid. I am afraid that I may not loose the 115lb I have dreamed of loosing. I guess I am going through anxiety though it bothers me that I can personally run into people who have had the Gastro Bypas Surgery, but not the Lapband Surgery. Well I hope to write on these blogs until I meet my goal.

Hi, I believe that some insurance companies didn't always approve lapband. A lot of people where I work had the gastric bypass but I know our coverage did not cover lap band a few years ago.

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