Anxiety in the pre- approval period



Recommended Posts

I am almost done with all my pre- approval requirements for insurance. I am really scared that I will not get approved after all this. I have already had to do an endoscopy, chest x-ray, gallbladder ultrasound, psych eval , nuitritional consults etc. I also cannot stop eating. I feel like this is my last time I will be able to eat whatever I want. How did you guys cope during this waiting period.

I am very anxious too. My last thing to do will be the psych eval and I'm doing that on Tuesday. I am trying to keep myself busy to not think so much about it. I'm praying I get approved and that I'll have an early September date, but the anticipation is killing me.

My last appointment is 8/7. I am also hoping for a early September date. Hopefully we both get approved and get this done soon !

My surgery date is August 7 and let me tell you the waiting game is an awful game. You have all different emotions and you're just questioning a lot of things. I suggest keeping that new sexy you in the back of your head the whole time. I'm not sure what type of diet you will have to do but I'm on 1500 calories and boy it's depressing. All the foods I ate before the diet I miss but all the food I'm eating for the diet I'm going to miss. Again I say keep the bigger prize in your eyes. That's what is helping me and I hope it can help you too.

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
