You gals prompted me to call my insurance and I was approved too! Waiting for surgeons office to call with a date. Insurance company told me my date was 2/22 but I’m not sure if that’s true or not. Omg this is really happening!!!

So my husband has been approved too, but his authorization letter hasn't been processed yet. So I have to wait for that to schedule mine, since we're having it done together.

I'm so excited for all of us!!

Michigan 3: after the abortive attempts since today was Social Security day decided to go pay bills etc. When i got home there had been a call back,from hospital scheduling. Wouldn't you know they had closed,and won't be back until Monday at 7AM. Now I can screw myself up all,weekend,about what THIS person will say. I might,not,need surgery,if I commit hari kari in the next 3 days.Calgon take me away!

On January 18th my nutritionist says they were just waiting on my psych evaluation then they'd be submitting it to my insurance, I had my evaluation on Jan 16th which went great he said it was the shortest evaluation he'd ever done and it wouldn't take him long to write it up. So hopefully they got it already. I have another nutrition /Trainor apt Feb 8th so hopefully I'll know more. I'm getting anxious.... So close! It consumes my every thought. I think I'll feel more relieved when I get the actual approval.

      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.
