I had my last doctors appt on Tuesday, and all of my information was submitted to insurance on Thursday so i'm in my two week wait. I'm excited and scared all at the same time and I'm finding myself obsessing over the outcome. I will be documenting my journey on YouTube, my channel name is lylymarey.

What did some of you do to get through the wait?

Are there any blogs, or youtubbers you watch that have encouraged you to get through this?

Hi lylymarey.. my paperwork was submitted on June 25th and the insurance approved it on June 29th, my wait wasn't long at all. Actually my coordinator didn't inform that she had submitted. I just received a call from her telling me that I had been approved. I'm a YouTube watcher and I follow jmcbribe. She has really encouraged me in my journey. Good luck on your journey and I'll be following you on YouTube. Oh my surgery is in 11 days!!

Oh wow, congrats. I know you're super excited. Your insurance made their decision quick. I hope I'm as lucky. I also watch jmcbribe and a few others (ebonneza and shar0613)How are doing on your pre op diet or were you even required to do one? Have you purchased anything for pre or post op?

Thank you! I'm getting excited, I've just been trying to stay busy and not think about it to much. My doctor does not require a pre op but i've been doing my own and I can't tell you if I lost weight because i refuse to get on the scale. I will know the truth this Wednesday when i have my pre-op appointment. That's probably when the nerves will take over.. LOL... As for as purchasing anything major just the normal things for my hospital stay. I hope your decisions goes by fast maybe they'll surprise you and give you a decision one day this week coming.. Good luck!!

I was also very fortunate to not have a long insurance wait. I think they tell everyone 2/3 weeks for a response but I have read alot of others in this forum getting their decision in a matter of days. My paperwork was submitted on July 26th and I was given my approval on July 31st. Unfortunately, I have to wait until October 11th to have my surgery because my surgeon is so awesome in with VSG procedures, the waiting list is 2 months out. I am patient and staying involved in the process. I wish you luck and definitely recommend PATIENCE!! This is a life changing experience for us all. I will also follow you along your journey...

Thanks so much ladies and congrats to you both. Im trying to be patient although that is a quality I suck at lol. I'll keep you guys updated.

Hey there- I JUST went through through this last week. Submitted Monday and they faxed approval to my doc on Wednesday - I expected the two weeks and truly believe the waiting is the worst part. Luckily for me- I had a TON of work last week go stress over. So I recommend a stressor or two to take your mind off . Just keep busy. It will come within 2 weeks so you are almost there!
