Recommended Posts

it took 3 weeks to get approved but i had to be on their butt!

i didnt check in till the first week and a half then i asked if they had an answer yet but all they said was that i would know soon. I guess their fax wasnt work at the doctors office and so the insurance company wasnt getting my papers but finally i got a new number for them to fax to and in like record time they approved me in less then 24 hours. it was one of the best things i have ever heard. but if i want my surgery in december i have to loose 10 pounds i guess in a week...i hope i can do it!

Congratulations on your approval! The most weight that your going to lose in one week is going to be right now. You will lose all of your Water weight almost immediately. My pre-op diet was full liquid. That included broths, popsicles, water, milk, hot chocolate(my fav), ect. Everything had to be sugar-free and low sodium. 10lbs is not impossible, I lost I think around 16 during that week. It is not easy, but it will be worth it. Good Luck.

      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.
