  2. Did you ever get scared and excited

    sarahjane89 replied to marissahealthiernewme's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    It's an emotional roller coaster to say the least! When I got the call that my insurance approved and I got to schedule my surgery, it was the happiest day of my life (so far) ☺ Good luck! I'm excited for you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  3. Looking for a friend

    sarahjane89 replied to nandy's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
    I'll gladly be a friend to you! I'm in South Carolina but I could still be some needed support! I did my whole process and surgery alone so I understand the need for some support! I'm only 12 days post op but I can already say this is the best thing I've ever done! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  4. What is the 1 thing you absolutely are excited about

    sarahjane89 replied to Stephanielp's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I have so many! Too many to name them all! I'm mostly excited to be healthy and want to enjoy running! I haven't gotten to running yet since my surgery was not even two weeks ago but I'm walking at least 3 miles every day! Also, I want to WOW everyone at my high school reunion this summer! ????

  6. Anyone have BCBS of IL but live in Virginia?

    sarahjane89 replied to goaldigger33's topic in Insurance & Financing
    I have BCBS of IL and my pre-determination took 2 weeks! I called them multiple times during the process to check on it. I'm not sure if that helped but it's worth a shot! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  11. How can you find out if you're approved

    sarahjane89 replied to tigraq08's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
    I'm not sure if this helped my process or not, but I called the insurance company every single day and mine was approved and ready to go within a week! I was stressing because my surgeon would not schedule without a two-step pre-approval. Hopefully you hear back early tomorrow! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  17. Uber-Noob to gastric sleeve

    sarahjane89 replied to WhatTheFreud's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    Hello! I'm in a similar situation right now. I explained to the surgeon on my first visit that I have extreme GERD when he suggested the sleeve. I had done my research prior and knew the sleeve and GERD did NOT mix very well. He explained that he would do surgery for my hiatal hernia AND the sleeve at the same time which would fix my reflux issues. Hopefully that helps! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
