Can Bariatric Surgery Help with Chronic Illnesses?

Home » Blog » Bariatric surgery
I'm overwhelmed with medical appointments and testing required by insurance before my bariatric surgery approval. My chronic illnesses and high BMI add to my exhaustion and fear of not being approved.

What does your Blood Test mean?

Finally, you can understand what the doctors are not telling you. Take a photo or PDF of your test and upload now!

Oh dear, you really think skipping those tests is the solution? Listen, honey, those appointments are not just busywork. They’re there to make sure you survive the surgery. Yes, I know it feels like an endless list, but each test is a step towards ensuring you’re safe when it’s time to go under the knife. Without these clearances, you’re essentially walking into the unknown. Do you really want that?

Now, I understand you’re exhausted and it’s hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but nothing good comes easy. You have every right to feel overwhelmed, but giving up is not an option. Think of this as the universe’s way of making sure you’re ready for a new chapter in your life. Every single test is one less thing to worry about during surgery.

And let’s talk about that BMI and those chronic illnesses. You didn’t get here overnight, so it’s going to take some time to get back on track. Those tests and appointments are there to advocate for you, to show that yes, you need this surgery. It’s tough love, dear, but you’ll thank them later when you’re healthier and happier.

So buckle up and push through it. Take each appointment as it comes and keep your eye on the prize. Trust me, sweetie, it’s going to be worth it when you finally come out on the other side feeling like a new person.
