Insurance approval!!



Recommended Posts

Friday I rec'd my approval letter from my insurance company!! I was so excited I cried, then I called my sister and she cried also (after calling me a sap)

So....Now what?? When will I start the liquid diet? I thought I had all the info I needed untill I got that letter and all of a sudden my brain blanked out all known info. HAHA :guess

Any way, I'm supposed to call my surgeon's office ( Dr. Cribbins) Monday to get a surg date. I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight....excitement reigns supreme!!

Hi guys!!

I have my surg scheduled May 6th....I'm a nervous wreck!!! I am so excited I can hardly contain myself. I have been going through my closet this week trying to find any of my "skinny" clothes (for me that is only a size 18 or 20) so I will have a couple of things to wear, Not much luck in that department though..I've been a size 22 for about 9 years and had gotten rid of most of my old clothes, so I guess I'll be hitting the thrift stores.. anybody know a good one in the Garland, Richardson Plano area??

Debby,

I'm in north Texas, Sachse actually which is a suburb of Dallas. Where are you?

Now we can support each other through this...

Where did you get your weight tracking thing that is with your signature??? I need to get one of those!! So I can see ho much I've lost. I have also decided to get a box of large paperclips, for every pound I loose I add 1 to the chain untill I have enough to hang in the bedroom... Just something visual for me to see the numbers...

Hi Christine,

Congrats on getting approved. I am still waiting. My daughter lives in Wylie and goes to church in Sachse so I come through there almost every week. Good luck on your surgery. Where are you having it?

Hey I like the paper clip thing! Very creative.

The ticker on the bottom of the posts. I'm no expert but go to the web site. Just click on one. Make it and Copy it, then paste is on your signature. I don't know how to change it except to do it again.

I'm getting excited! I needed to buy clothes for vacation to Disney the week before and I bought very sparingly because I hopefully won't need this size for long. My goal to to have a summer without the W on my size 18's (or 16's).

Who came up with that W system. It sucks emotionally.

Good luck on the waiting

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
