Oh my gosh, Jen, that is a heartbreaking story. Shame on those insurance companies! I wish you the best of luck. You are making the right decision. Your health and the years you add on to your life by eliminating the obesity is well worth any amount, right? I am one week post op sleeve surgery so I can't rave yet about the success but I am down 9 pounds so am hopeful. Good Luck!

Hi Nikki - Thanks for the comments. Good Luck with your surgery. Are you nervous about doing the 10 day liquid protein diet? Where are you from?

Hi Jen11, it sounds like you just had the procedure recently. How is everything going for you? I started my first blog last night and I am just starting this journey. I am also paying out of pocket, so it was a big deal in so many ways to go through with this. I can't wait!
