Hmm, guess I'll start with my pcp then, and see where it goes. Thanks for all the info, you guys are great :001_unsure:

I'm a newbie, as in still in research phase, and I have conservatively 120 pounds to lose. It seems so daunting sometimes, but honestly, I just want to be able to breathe better. I gave up smoking 5 months ago without drugs, or any other aides, so I "know" I'm not weak, or have no will power, but there are times, with food, that I really doubt myself. I just pray that everything falls into place for this, I'm not sure what else to do.

Yeah, I'm concerned that my insurance will deny also. Unfortunately, Mexico would never be an option for me, just no way possible, not living paycheck to paycheck. I wish you luck on your approval, I can completely understand how much you want it. Yeah, I've gotten a couple of people telling me that I don't "need" it, but my mother was super-obese by the time she was my age, and I keep inching my way in that direction. I know it's not a cure-all, but more of a step-up, and I can use all the help I can get!

Hi everybody! I just joined to site after lurking in the shadows over the past week. I've been researching WLS, first concentrating on the band surgery. Needless to say, I've decided the sleeve is better suited for me. I've just started on my journey, haven't even had a doctor appointment yet. Would love to talk to some post-op people, especially those who encountered problems. I'm the type of person who likes to know the worst case scenario, so I can expect the worst, then if I don't get it, I can be happy, lol. Thanks to anyone who replies. Have a great one!
