My paperwork was submitted today to my insurance company. I have Affinity Health Plan Medicaid. I am hoping for a speedy approval. I have a BMI of 47 and high cholesterol along with joint pain and I am hoping to hear back soon. Wish me luck everyone!

Thank you so much. My paperwork was submitted to my insurance company today so I am waiting to hear a response back from them. I am nervous and excited. I can't believe that I am this close. It's a little nerve-racking.

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum. I am a 26 year old student from NYC. I am currently 5'3", 260lbs. I have been overweight for most of my life. I have tried all types of diets and was able to lose weight but I was never able to keep it off. After doing some research, I decided that weight loss surgery was the best option for me. I went for my initial consultation with Dr. Yatco at Lenox Hill Hospital on January 31st. We decided together that the gastric sleeve would be the best option for me. Now I am just dealing with all the requirements for my insurance (and there are a lot). I am hoping to schedule my surgery for late May, early June. My doctor recommended this forum as way to gain a support system since I do not have much support at home. I am nervous about getting surgery but I know that it is the right decision for me and my health.

Hi everyone,
I am new to the forum. I recently submitted my paperwork to my insurance company and I am waiting to hear back from them. I am definitely worried about the potential Hair loss but I figure I could weave it up or get twists. I am more focused on my weight loss for now and will deal with the hair issue (if there is any) down the road.
