Did BCBS contact you or did you hear from your doctor?

No not from my doctor; I I harassed BCBS customer service twice a day for a status! Lol! I would call once in the morning and once in the afternoon! :) I was too anxious to wait for my doctor to contact me.

LOL! I thought about calling today and talked myself out of it bc I wasn't sure if they'd tell me. I have BCBS Carefirst. I think I'll call tomorrow. :)

My paperwork was submitted on the 13th and I still haven't heard anything. My doctor told me it would take two weeks.

Is it common for most doctors to put you in a preop liquid diet? I’m currently on my preop and I can have food. Granted it’s not much but it’s still real food.
I'm on day 9 of my pre op diet, and I'm allowed food as well, very limited I'll say, but it's working out for me. 3 shakes a day, 1 serving of fruit, veggie and starch a day, until day before and Clear Liquids. I guess it all depends on your doctor on what kind of diet, if any, you'll be on.

I am allowed three meals a day, 120g of tofu and as many low starch veggies as I like. Or I can have a Protein Shake. I'm in ketosis I'm sure, so it still works

Just got a call and my surgery is pushed back from July 24th until August 14th. Ugh. Bummer

My surgeon is a LT. COLONEL in the military and has training right after the original surgery date and he needs to be able to see me while I would be in hospital. Frustrating. So guesss I will be a August sleever. Haha

That sucks but at least your surgeon cares enough to follow through and be there for you. He could have passed your follow care onto someone else.

      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.
