Except you cannot anticipate complications in the middle of a semester... Money time and effort could be lost

But as always the choice is yours

Thank you! For most people that is totally true. I really did think about all the complications that might happen! I have worked hard to get to this place in my life. I even lost twins will in grad school and still finished. I am a extremely strong woman. I always push forward.

I am approved? If I agree to start over. no previous testing, surgeries and wait for an undetermined time.

@SeattleLady

I agree that health insurance is terrible - we pay a lot of money for what?

"kind of" like car insurance?? - pay a lot, one accident you are cancelled!!

i've enjoyed reading your "tale of 2 cities" / tummies😂

your determination - getting approved - woo hoo

excitement is a great emotion felt by most OP - i can only your imagine

not knowing what and when things are happening - makes you

upset/mad and a little crazy all at the same time - frustration about the

"whats and when" of your revision.

hopefully you will find out the "plan" soon, and things will go forward

good luck

God Grant Me Patience, Just Hurry Up About It!!

The latest, my GERD is getting better by my change in eating habits. Most days, I feel like a perpetual science experiment!

I am afraid to eat. I don't want to have acid. My first visit to the nutritionalist is this week. I will have a clear plan at that point. If I am revised? It will occur in late March. Time will surely tell!

How did you win the denial? I was just denied today and I'm super mad about it.

      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.
