Waiting Game



Recommended Posts

So I am still playing the waiting game. Just got Pre-Approved from insurance for surgery. My Dr. originally told me it would be in December. But the nurse thinks it more realistically will be in January now. All hoops have been jumped through and now I sit and wait! I am not the worlds most patient person, but I am working on it. This process has been pretty long but I am ready! So I am playing the hurry up & wait game!

I know that's right.... Hurry up and wait... I thought I was going to be able to have surgery in January but my first three months of Physician Supervised Weight Loss out of six months didn't count because my doctor didn't code the appointment correctly so I did actually started till October 30th.. so my surgery won't be until May sometime

Its hard waiting!! I'm waiting, too, started in August, surgery date is in March. I decided to use the next 12 weeks to lose 12 pounds as a goal, counting calories and using a 40% - 40% - 20% macro plan. At least this way I feel like I'm moving forward.

So they called today and I have to meet with the surgeon on Monday. I will be scheduled then. The nurse once again thinks it will be in January. Not much longer! Yay!

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