I cried like a baby!



Recommended Posts

I started this journey in late August of this year. I went to all of my required appointments, started my 2 week liquid diet, and was scheduled for surgery on 12/26. The only problem was I hadn't received insurance approval yet. Anybody here knows that waiting for insurance approval is torture. The not knowing if my surgery would be covered has been the most difficult part of this whole thing, even more difficult than two weeks of liquids. Well, I just got off the phone with the surgeons office and .......I'm Approved. I actually cried on the phone with the receptionist and then sobbed when I called my husband and twin sister. I am so excited and I can't wait to begin my new life after surgery.

My advice for anyone who is still waiting on insurance approval is to hang in there. Don't be afraid to call the surgeon's office or your health insurance co. to check the status. You know the old saying, "The sweaky wheel gets the oil".

You know, all of us have put so much into this procedure. Now the question is, will we stick with it? I know if you all have the same determination and drive that I have we should have no problems!!!! I'm looking forward to the new year!!!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
