How did it go?
It went great. I really like my surgeon he was very down to earth very helpful professional and he answered all of my questions he made sure the surgery I chose will be the right one for me. But other than that I don't have much to do for insurance just blood work EKG ,psych eval.,two nutrition classes and get copies of my cpap records.

Am I over reacting the last two days have been so stressful yesterday my surgeon ordered 16 labs for me I got stuck multiple times. Today I tried to set up my psych. Evaluation appointment they wouldn't let me I was told they don't take my insurance. So I called my surgeon told her what happened they say that wasn't true so now I'm waiting on them to fix the issue.

Nah, not overreacting. The process can be arduous, but worth it in my opinion.

My psych (woman was a complete loon by the by, who insisted I take notes of her brilliance and promoted her book and therapy sessions during my one and only session.), did not accept insurance, so I had to pay out of pocket.

Be sure to talk to your doctor about stress and concerns, that's part of what they are there for.

Hang in there, everything will be just fine.

      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.
