I know just how you're feeling! It's exciting but having insurance paperwork done makes it all so real, doesn't it? Don't worry (but of course you will!) this is a really positive step you're taking. I'm about 2 months out, 30 lbs down and I'm really glad I did this.

Best of luck and good wishes to you!

Hello MNgirl1234!!! Well I believe I am approved!!! :) I got impatient and called my insurance company myself to inquire on the approval....I called BCBS this morning.... and low and behold they gave me approval number and approval dates! I didn't quite understand the approval dates? BCBS gave me dates within the next two weeks to get the surgery done! Have you heard this before or has anyone on this forum heard of this? If so feel free to chime in! :)

I was a little confused since my doctor office hasn't called me yet , so I expect them to be calling me anytime now I hope! I emailed them as well letting the know! Maybe you should call your insurance and find out like I did. I was just getting so impatient that I had to find out something! lol

Mngirl1234, thank you I am excited .. still haven't heard back from doctor ... but hopefully tomorrow.

Well they never told me the exact date of when everything was submitted it seems like it was anywhere between the 15th-20th of Feb... and I called them this morning. so like a week or a little more!

But keep calling them! I heard of people calling everyday and checking up on it.

How many days has it been since they submitted yours?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
