This past week I completed all my pre surgery requirements! My husband was sleeved on June 27th 2017. I am very eager to get mine done and excited that I am ready. Waiting for them to call me with a surgery date is the hardest! I really don't want to wait for months on end. I don't think I'm worried about the surgery it's the 2 weeks liquid fast that has got me worried. I don't do well with mind games but I am happy my husband is so supportive! My husband has had great recovery and is looking amazing! I'm 28 years old and ready to live IMG_2932.JPGmy new life style!! Is anyone else waiting for a call?? It does not help that my boss keeps asking when it is. Ugh I pray it's soon

Everyone gets anxious at this time it's gonna happen quickly the insurance companies and your Dr's keep up on these things. I know mine did and everyone who posts on these websites gets their dates fairly easy. I wouldn't worry but I still kept on them and you should too. Nothing wrong with staying on top of them and making sure they do their jobs. I did and it pays off.

I am currently going through the same thing. They submitted my paperwork to insurance at the end of June. Insurance told them they had to resubmit. According to my doctors office they did and even put urgent on it. Called insurance and doctors office thursday but the insurance said they have nothing. Doctors office said they will call again. From what I hear it only takes my insurance two days to get back. So I am giving them until Wednesday and I am calling again. My doctors office said we will call you but I am not waiting on that. As I start school in September and need to have my surgery scheduled in August!

The IPA group that has to approve always sends letter. I would call them directly...

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
