To be honest I'm not sure all of my paperwork has been submitted yet. Completed about 1/2 of my required apps. But the surgeon scheduled my surgery date already and I have all my doctor visits scheduled to be completed by March 7th.

When was all your paperwork submitted to the insurance company and how soon after did you get your surgery date



About 2 weeks after.

It took almost 3 weeks to submit between my doctor and surgeon. However it only took about 3 business days to get approved after that.

My Surgeon office won't give me a set until I get the approval. I didn't go through his office for any appointments. I did everything on my own and once I did everything that my insurance required to get the surgery, I looked on line for the surgeon I wanted set up an consultation had all the labs results , psyc eval, and 6 month visits faxed to him. They were impressed too. Called me on 2/8 and said they faxed everything to insurance on2/7. I went on line to see if they did I see they have everything. I called insurance today they said give them 10 days

      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. 🤞
