Frustrated



Recommended Posts

Ok I have jumped through all the hoops even gotten insurance approval. I called on Monday to my insurance.. They said I was aproved. So I was trying to be good at waiting so I waited a day.. Called the doctor and asked about it told them I had called and it had gone through. I was told I would be called later that day or next neither. Now Thrusday. Please I know mine is going quicker than many. But I was told at the beginning they would push it through fast due to I was unsure how long we would have this insurance. So anyways now it is thrusday. I am so excited to get started. Even trying to eat better maybe even prestart my liquid diet. No way just cant do it yet. I guess I am still trying to get in the last bit. I am not going crazy and eating and gaining. Just cant start liquid diet without the word from them.. I am starting to think gee is this for me. I know a crazy rant. I am so looking forward. I guess I am just nerious with the waiting.. Please be kind with your replys had to get that off my chest

Just hang in there, even thought your insurance has approved it, your Dr has to get everything ready before his nurses call you. It might take a couple of days. If they havent called you by the beginning of next week go ahead and call them and say "Yall told me id get a call on wednesday and I never got a call" and just see what they say. Dont loose hope, this is a life changing event. About the liquid diet...I would wait until your dr tells you when to start it, all drs are different and some require a 2 week post op diet and some want just a 5 day post op, so wait until you get word from the dr when to start! I hope you hear something soon, good luck! Hang in there, its worth it!:crying:

Congrats on your approval! I would say calling tomorrow morning (if they dont contact you today) is reasonable so you dont have to wait through the weekend. Just explain again (nicely :-) that you have insurance concerns.

Good luck!

      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.
