So I was approved by my insurance for Gastric Sleeve Surgery. My date is June 1st and I am super excited. I am just still worried something could mess it up. Is there anything that could make them change my surgery date? Is there anything that could make my insurance recall my approval or change their minds? Am I just be crazy? Please let me know, it will help me to determine if there is any validity to my fears. Thank you guys!

I was worried about that too, but it did not happen. I think they approve for a time frame.

I really hope that is true. I have done so much to get approved, and I am so ready to start my journey. It's always on my mind. I signed up at a gym today, and I have been trying to be even better about my food. Next week I have my preoperative education class, doctors appointment and an additional clearance thing from the hospital where I am having my surgery. I assume they will be telling me when to start my preoperative diet, ect... But none of this is stopping me from being worried that the surgery won't actually go through. I think I am gonna worry until I am on the operating table.

Thanks for responding, I hope your right. ????

No you are fine. Unless you are the first patient of the day there could be a delay in getting you in the OR, but that's typical for any hospital/procedure. Emergencies happen from time to time. However your approval will not be recalled and your surgery will indeed happen.

Thank you so much! You guys are helping me out so much. I know I am probably over thinking this, but it so important! I hope you guys are right!

Your surgery date won't get pulled. Good for you for getting started!! Eating better now will make things easier later since its a lifestyle change and not a diet. The way I looked at it any pounds I can lose now means I get even more pounds off with the surgery, I didn't want to gain anything to just have to lose it again...there IS NO overthinking right? lol :lol:

Your surgery shouldn't be cancelled by insurance unless you lose your insurance. Your doctor shouldn't cancel unless he/she has some type of emergency or there is a major medical crisis at your hospital. As long as you stay healthy, you should be fine. If you have a fever, cold, or flu they could postpone it.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
