That is super fast! What insurance do you have? My insurance requires a 6 month process. I started everything back in Nov.



I started the process in feb and surgery is next month. Waiting on final approval from insurance company.

I just found out I was approved and my surgery is scheduled for April 17th. I was really shocked that my approval only took about 24 hours [emoji15].
Now it is getting real!

What insurance do you have? I have BC/BS of IL and my approval came within five hours. She submitted in the morning and by two she had an approval. Hopefully you'll hear something soon, if not today!! Fingers crossed for you :780_sparkling_heart:

Thanks. I have Tricare Prime. I can't wait to hear back. It's normally 24 hours for them. I think they're waiting for my upper gi that I'm getting done right now. I'm waiting to be called in. Then I'll probably hear back next week. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. My younger brother is getting married in June so I'm looking forward to lose a good amount of weight before I head out to cali.

Don't forget, after all your testing is done and you're officially waiting for approval, you can call the insurance company to check on your status. Sometimes they will approve you, but take a day or two before sending something out.

I'm too excited about getting a good amount of weight off by fall. It will be nice to go through a corn maze and not want to collapse twenty minutes in.

That's good to know thanks. Maybe I'll call them on Monday.

I know the feeling. I can't wait to just be able to go back out to play with the kids. I was in the Army and I just want to go back to my old self and show them momma used to be a soldier and she's now back to her old self.
Running through a corn maze sounds like fun!

My tentative date is April 26th. They are just waiting to get the approval to confirm and schedule my last meeting with my surgeon to go over questions and with my nurse to go over what my pre open diet will consist of.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got 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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
