Recommended Posts

I am so happy! I just got off the phone with Aetna and I am approved!!! YES!!! :)

This is the next step to a new life for me. I have struggled with my weight for the past 10 years and it is time for me to end that struggle.

Thank You Jesus!:smile2:

CONGRATS on being APPROVED. I'm so happy for you. How long did it take for Aetna to approve you once all your paperwork was submitted. I'm less than two months away from being eligible.

Good for u atl. now u r on your way to being hotlanta:tt1:

Update: part of my daily ritual is calling the ins.company to see if they have received my paperwork. Well today, during this sacred time i called and was told that they received it on the 12th and to give it some time because it could take up to four weeks for an answer. Well,at least that's a start.

But as always-Pray for your girl:confused_smile:

      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. 🤞

      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.
