ahh I see! I hear ya though!!! yes i bet you hear something by the end of this week! BCBS seems to answer in that time frame.

I am worried about one thing though , when I called today, I asked if it said anything about duodenal switch and they couldn't tell but then said it stated lap sleeve and some other medical terms. I am nervous about that! I am hoping my case manager at my surgeons office put in the right operation to be approved!!! Ughhhh .. but I worry like crazy so I hope I am wrong and thats not the issue.

Well when do YOU think you'll be visiting the Slice and,Dice parlor? Commonly known as the operating room. I'm guessing March 14-20 but it's obvious in my own life I'm p*** poor about predictions. Look at my wavy road to,my RnY, I may take a bowie knife, a lighted makeup mirror and some 30 test fishing line and perform my,own surgery. Oh yeah I've got John's (the late lamented) big Swingline stapler in the bedroom next to the computer. Yeah I've got a terabyte+ computer. Tomkitten has operating custody, he says I keyboard too rough. Put his hands on his hips and proclaimed"Mom Its not an old Underwood Upright!" He wants to do it fine, at least I don't get into trouble,like Proud Grammy. Alex Brecher, Spectrum and Ms P.G. are going to end up,in a 3way conference call one of these days, So I use my smartphone for Bariatric Pal.l am but a simple soul when it comes to the internet.

Hi MNgirl,

I’m in MN too😊. Where will you have your surgery? I’m going to United in St. Paul or Abbott Northwestern in Mpls, depending on which site can schedule me for surgery with Dr. Svendsen the soonest. I have 2 appts left with the dietitian and the psych appt left. Hope you hear from your doctor soon!

I'm not sure where surgery is yet, because my surgeon operates in two locations. Im guessing Abbott, but who knows! I am super excited to get going, so hopefully I will hear soon! Good luck to you and keep in touch!!![emoji106]

      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.
