Just Had Psych Eval...



Recommended Posts

I just got home from having my psych eval. She told me that everything seemed fine. I still have to go for my final appointment of my six months of medically supervised on Friday which is when everything will be submitted to the insurance company. But after my eval she was explaining the pre and post op procedure as far as appointments and diet. I ask her if she thought the insurance company would approve me and she said based on my chart and the fact that I have stuck with the six months. she things I will get approved. I can't wait until Friday when everything gets submitted. I think I will call the insurance company on Monday to "check the status" of everything.

So my question is how long did it take you to get approved after submitting everything to your insurance company?

Took me about 3 weeks from submission to receiving the pre-approval letter.

It took me several months. I had everything asked of me finished sometime last fall, but I wasn't approved until Feburary of this year. Aetna fought approving the surgery tooth and nail. Finally the Bariatric Center sent in a pro-bono past WLS lawyer for me :w00t:.

about 4 days, but I also had to call them. Well I didn't have to, but I would've found out a few days later. All my paperwork was submitted on a Monday, I called the insurance company friday, so I would've found out Monday or Tuesday.

      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.

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