Another Newbie...(kind of long)



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone! I am brand new here..this is my first post!:lol0: I belong to OH also. I happened on this site through google as I was researching the VSG. Glad I did..I love this forum.

I am not for sure if my insurance will approve VSG..I called today and the lady wouldn't tell either way..just that if Bariatric surgery is medically necessary then your Dr. will do the rest. I am new to insurance just got it first time ever in July.

I was 2 weeks from having the DS(self pay)...I had some financial unforseen circumstances happen and I had to cancel the surgery! I was a wreck I was so siked for it! I was really mad at the hospital for not working with me at all.I guess they don't for anyone.I really believe it all happened for a reason...I was pretty nervous about the malabsorption part of that surgery.I will consider RNY..only if it is the LAST resort! I need to lose this weight and cannot do it on my own! I have wasted 25 years trying.

I live in upstate NY...I am 44 years old and I like the fact that with the VSG you can take birth control...(I have never had to worry about that because of my weight). I have one child, a daughter who is 21.

Thanks .... Kim :blushing:

Hi Kim and welcome to VST. Glad to have you around, and I'm a firm believer, everything happens for a reason.

Keep us posted as things progress in terms of your surgery date, and insurance stuff.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
