I am sure the waiting is the hardest-- I am pre-op now, and with just a week to go, I can hardly wait.

Take good care of yourself in the meantime and get lots of reading in on your new lifestyle... use the wait time as an opportunity!!!

Best of luck!!

Hang in there, Dana. I actually just posted that my stuff got submitted today too. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you hear something soon.

Let's hope we BOTH hear something this week (maybe overly optimistic, but let's think positive LOL)

waiting is definetly the hardest part .. i can attest to that , my suggestion, after a week call the insurance company. that is what i did and i found out that i was approved. let me tell you teh previous week and a half was like a life time of waiting ... and wondering ... now i know my answer and the insurance company is faxing me a copy of the appoval. We all have to remember that this is the first stage to the new and improved us .... Maybe this is to help teach us patience :biggrin:

It's seems like all I've done is wait wait for my consult, wait for my surgical consult, for for the insurance approval, wait for the nutritionist consult, and now now at the end... wait for a surgery date, again I'm glad I'm committed to this. boy oh boy

Txcloverangel...good luck...I'm so excited for you!! Let me know how it goes with the approval! I have aetna, too, and I have 3 weeks left before my 3 month jump through the hoops act is done! I thought 3 months would never get here fast enough, and now it is only 3 weeks out! :biggrin:

      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.
