Don't quit on yourself. That's the only person you hurt if you give up now. Think of all the effort you have put in. You can't make it if you really want it. I had a few insurance set backs but if you keep pushing you will make it through. Work with the doctor and see if there is anyone at the practice that helps with that stuff. Mine has a lady that works as a patient advocate to fight with insurance companies over this. Keep going and think about how much better you will feel when you drop the weight.

Please don't give up! I'm sorry you are having such a hard time with insurance, but keep fighting! This is your life and your health, isn't it worth it? I understand that you are completely fed up fight now, so take a few days to calm down and tackle that obstacle again until they give in! You deserve it, you are worth it! Think of it this way, if you keep fighting to get it, or give up the time will still pass either way, but if you keep fighting and win, you have something to show for it in the end. Please don't give up.

Usually doctors offices do not put you on the schedule until after you are approved. I would wait until you get your approval to schedule your date.

Thank you so much!!! I will not let all this hard work be in vain!!! But thats where the doctor office missed up at, they gave me a date without all of the approvals...

That does suck. My office made a big mistake somewhat similar to that. It all worked out in the end.

Make sure it is approved. Then set your date. While you are waiting, practice not drinking with your meals especially 30 mins before and after. Make sure you have your foods stocked for post op. pamper yourself. You did all the work and research, please don't let someone's mistake cancel your desire to become healthier and happier. Good luck to you!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
