Congrats!!! Isn't it excited and scarey at the same time?

I also received my approval letter last week and I'm now waiting on a surgery date.

Hopefully, time will pass as quickly as the last 6 months have and we will all be well on our way!

Congrats to everyone on their insurance approvals! I'm sure it won't be long until I'm hearing about all of your successful surgeries :-)!

Congratulations! My doctor and I are getting everything together for my insurance. I have a few appointments with doctor, nutritionist, phys. and a med procedure before we will have everything together. I'm hoping we will have everything ready to send in before the end of the month. I hope I hear something before the end of September. Maybe in a month or so I can post the same message you just posted.

Congratulations!

How long was you're approval process? I am in the beginning stages and would like to know how long it will take. I am going to the orientation on Aug 12th. What are the steps that follow and is it true that insurance companies make you wait 6 months?

Hi Jerzee Girl,

I went to a seminar on 7/14/09. I saw the doctor last week. I'm not sure how long it will take, but we are moving right along with all the appointments I need. 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.
