Asking For Prayer And Positive Thoughts



Recommended Posts

I am increasingly stressed that I will not get my approval from insurance. I have done everything in my power so I feel completely out of control now as I wait for the decision. Every day that goes by I feel a little less hopeful. I just need to find some peace.

Hi,

Just know that as long as you have done everything in YOUR power to make this happen, then the only thing left to do is TRUST GOD to to what You Can't Do! This is a piece of cake if you've met your insurance criteria! Don't Worry!

All Will Be Well with You!

ill say a prayer for you as well. i felt the same as you. it took my insurance about a month to finally send my approval letter to my surgeon when i was originally told it would take 2 weeks. however keep this in mind, i called the insurance comapny directly a week and a half after the paperwork was officially submitted and was told it was approved. good luck to you!

Maybe some comfort in an old Quaker saying... one that helps me:

Way will open.

I will say a prayer for both of us! My paperwork was submitted to the insurance companythis morning (I called my insurance company to confirm it was received). The insurance comapny says 5 days for a response. I am on pins and needles. Good luck and hopefully you hear back soon. How long did you have for your insurance requirements? I had a six month waiting period. My last weigh in was yesterday.

Sending you lots of prayers and wishes of peace as you wait!! Waiting stinks, hoping for calm and contentment until you hear.

I understand, I'm scared too. It's still a little too early in my process for my surgeon to submit an authorization request, so the wait is killing me. I'm consoling myself with what their office told me: that my insurance company is one of the easier ones to obtain approval. I don't see why they would NOT authorize the surgery but of course my thoughts are running away with me. I hope your wait will be over soon. :)

Thank you all for the kind words and prayers. You really have helped me be more at peace during my wait.

The peace comes from allowing the powers that be take over. You'll be fine and your approval will come.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
