Still no call. It’s been a week since I got my approval. Also I had my EKG and blood work done already. Hopefully they don’t make me pay for that again

I really hope I hear something Monday. Otherwise I’m going to start calling. I understand she just came back from the holiday break so I’m sure she’s trying to catch up. However, the least u can do is call

I finally got a call back today. They are switching systems so she said she will call me back this week to set my appointment for me to meet the surgeon.

I am using them too. My surgery date is the 16 of January. Dr. Weaver left the practice when her contract was over so it is just Dr. Wegner. I have Betty Coble as my patient advocate. I started my journey with a surgery consultation on March 15, 2017.

Wow!!! I had rny 3/8/17. I didn't know Dr. Weaver had left to the practice. I got a letter from Cigna in September saying she was no longer in my network, not that she had left the practice. I'm coming up on 1 year. I wonder what I'm supposed to do. Should I see Dr. Wegner or try to find Weaver? Oh, the dilemma.

I believe a lot of her patients report to Dr Wegner now to prevent paying out of network cost.

      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.
