I have done all the bells and whistles required to get approved for my weight loss surgery yet I am scared to death that I won't get approved.

It's really unlikely that you'd be allowed to go through the testing and then not be approved. I assume you're using insurance to do this, and you've created a trail of compliance, which is what the insurance company MUST have before paying a claim. Are you 100+ pounds overweight? Have you seen a nutritionist? Have you lost some weight after being told it's a step in the process? Okay, you're scared, or nervous, or suffering from an anxiety we've probably all shared. TRY AFFIRMATIONS instead of giving in to fear. I've provided a link to a fantastic book you can read for free online (I bought it back in the day, but now it's a *.pdf) called THE ONLY DIET THERE IS. Honestly, I can't tell you how much this book helped me. It changed my life.

Please give yourself a break. Take a deep breath. Say, "This is happening!!!!" Think logically, the first, most important thing: you wouldn't have had to go through all the bells and whistles if the company wasn't determined to qualify you.

Stick around here, enjoy the thousands of success stories. It's not a big deal. It's a medical procedure, and you have to follow the steps to qualify. You're as good as in already.

My insurance company required 6 months of appointments and testing with the surgeon, nutritionist, psychologist, cardiologist and probably others that I blocked out since it was 4.5 years ago. Other insurance companies required 3 months or up to a year of pre surgery services to determine preauthorization. The hardest requirement was having to write a 2 page letter explaining why I wanted the surgery. You have completed all the required steps and a doctor would not make you go through all that if they had any indication that you would not be approved. I think of it as more of a checklist, things that need to be completed before the surgery takes place.

My bariatric doctor actually calls it my checklist. Hmmm....my doctor did not ask me to write a two- page letter. That's the first time that I heard that. I bet your letter was authentic, heartfelt, and awesome!
