Congrats!! I can't wait to be there too!!

I am 26 but I wish I would have had the courage to make this decision sooner, I am only at the Very beginning but I am already do excited at the prospect of being able to actually live my life !

Welcome! I am at the beginning of the process as well, my seminar is not until 5/31 though so I am anxious to get going too! Good luck !!

Things are good, just moving slowly. I am super excited for the Sem so I can finally get things moving... If I have to be self pay I am willing to do that but I am going to try to go though my insurance first an hopefully they will cooperate!! I am so ready to take a seat on the loser's bench!!

I am hoping that I can have surgery ASAP hopefully by fall at the most but that will all depend on my insurance I guess... I have MVP and I had them send me the policy but it is super confusing... It sounds as though they don't think vsg is medically necessary but I am hoping dr o'malley's staff will be able to decipher it better! Now that I have made my decision I just want to get going!! I am so impatient! We can be vsg buddies!! I just hope they can get my insurance to cover!! Crossing my fingers!!

I am at the very beginning of the process, signed up for the seminar with dr o'malley at highland on 5/31 and now I am just waiting not so patiently for that to see what my next steps are. I am going crazy waiting!! I have made my decision and now I just want to get going!!

I'm in the ROC!! Not sleeved yet either though, just starting the process... Glad I'm not the only one either!!

This is why I am confused as well! If the other two surgeries are medically necessary why wouldn't the sleeve be?! I am probably getting way ahead of myself and I should just wait until my seminar and let dr o'malley's staff take care of it but it made me nervous!! I really want the sleeve!!!

I just got the policy from MVP and they cover bypass and the band but the sleeve is excluded b/c it is not considered medically necessary .... That does not make any sense!!! I am trying not to freak out about this I will just wait until my seminar and see what dr o'malley thinks. Maybe I can appeal it?

Well that's good to hear, I have done some research and I haven't read anything but good things.... Apparently he was even on Oprah! I just home my checklist is short too, now that I have made my decision I just want to get started!

Hi I am going to the seminar with dr o'malley also but it isn't until the end of may so I am anxious for it! Do you have your date yet? What did you think of dr omalley?
