What is a long process. Did you have to have all test in before surgery date or did they give you a tentative surgery date. Also did BCBS take a while for approval. My surgeon told me it takes about 3 weeks for approval, but I've heard other say it didn't take them as long. Where are you going to have your surgery performed?

I had an upper gi, nut eval, psych eval. The surgery center will not set a date until I'm approved. It can take up too three weeks but some get approval faster. I have not been approved yet. I will have surgery at Wesley long in Greensboro.

I have my endoscopy on July 10th and I have to have a sleep study completed, which is on June 27th. I also will attend my first class on June 27th. So I'm very early in the process. Don't have an appointment for psych eval yet. Sure I would love to join.

      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. 🤞
