How many of you guys were told it would take a month to get approval for your surgery and you got it before then? Also how long was it actually...?

Sorry fairy - I pm'd you with my info. I had some creepy people (damn Plain for figuring me out!) bother me so I had to set everything to Private.

I sleep like a burrito. I am a HUGE cover hog - Thank goodness DH doesn't like cover or we'd have issues.

I am heading into 2 days of meetings in another location - I will be internet-less! I'm going into withdrawal thinking of it (particularly when I KNOW that much time will be wasted in circular arguments, and I could be much more productive if I were on-line).

I'll check in on the weekend................

once the paperwork is with the review who do you call and talk to i mean what do you say once you have someone on the phone I knew what to do to see if the paperwork WAS THERE but yeah lol

I just talked to the service rep that answered. I told them that my doctor had sent in paperwork for predetermination of benefits for WLS. The rep was able to check to see if they had the paperwork and see if the review department had started looking at it. I also sent emails from their website. The rep that got my email actually requested follow up from the review department to tell her as soon as they were done with it. She emailed me the afternoon it was approved. My surgeon's office accepted the copy of the email until they got the official approval letter 2 weeks later.

I have to wear a very annoying brace, am on anti-inflammatories and have to go to physical therapy.

HOW do you take antinflamatories? Told me I can't with the band.

Lulu. thanks for posting the pictures!!! They are so cute! I would love to have a new puppy.

BBK, ummmm, uh oh. Maybe I need to call my band doc tomorrow and make sure it is safe to take them. Now I am worried.

My throat hurts and day time TV sucks.

Susan I had to take anti inflammatories for a back injury I had and my Dr prescribed one that was soluble in Water. If your band Dr gives you the ok to take them, maybe they could prescribe the soluble ones which are much easier to take.

Maybe that's another thread topic - movies we have seen and loved or loathed.

That's a great idea. It's nice when someone else has given a movie a good review so when you go to rent one, you have something in mind.

Froggi sorry, I was a self pay. I would go nuts too if I had to wait for an insurance company to make up their minds. We will keep our fingers crossed for you.

Susan I hope you're not in too much pain. My dr. said I can take anti inflamatories if I drink plenty of Water to flush it through the pouch.

I have flannel sheets on my bed all year long except for about one month which is usually August. I am always cold too.

        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.

      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
