Circus321 58 Posted January 28, 2021 I’ve been thinking about having wls for years but only started pursuing it in the last few months. I was approved yesterday for a gastric sleeve! I’m paying out of pocket so it was easier for me to qualify but I didn’t expect this process to be so quick. I was originally hoping to get it done this summer but my doctor was shocked I wanted to wait so long and we decided to have it done spring break (I’m a teacher so I wanted a time I wouldn’t have to take any sick days). The nurse is supposed to call me this week for sure to book it and set up the payment plan. It’s kind of scary that it’s going so fast. I was expecting at least a 6 month process between asking my doctor and getting it done but it’s zipping on by. Sorry for the rant, I’m excited and nervous! 2 GreenTealael and WishMeSmaller reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YESSYISAWESOME 13 Posted January 28, 2021 lucky you !!! i am happy for you. That is literally my next option if my insurance doesn't approve my revision. I am going to just pay out of pocket. ugh !! don't really want to do that since i have 2 insurance policies. but it is what it is. I need my REVISION ASAP !! 1 GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChunkyCali 51 Posted January 29, 2021 Congratulations! I'm starting to feel a little stir crazy with waiting myself. I'm 4 months since I saw the surgeon, all my clearances are done, but they want me to see the dietician for 6 months before they'll submit to insurance and schedule me for surgery. I've actually been weighing up self pay vs my out of pocket costs with insurance... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
