Hi all, I'm new this to this board and I'm excited about my possible journey. Right now I'm in the gathering stages of my journey. I found my surgeon through a co worker, but she went through her husbands insurance. I'm 26, 4'11 and have a BMI of 52.1. I went to the info session 6/26, had my consult with the surgeon 6/6, nutrition consult 6/7, psych eval 6/17. I turned in a letter of referral from my PCP, weight history from PCP for the past 3 years, a copy of my weight history from nurses who visit my job once a week, and now I'm waiting to receive a copy of my membership and weekly weigh-ins from Weight Watchers. As far as I can tell my insurance company, Empire BCBS does not require a 3 or 6 month supervised diet prior to approval, however I'm still nervous about being approved. Anyone have any experience with Empire BCBS? How long did it take for you to be approved? thanks!

Cookouts and 2 family reunions this summer
Lisha replied to Shanny's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Hi there, I don't really have any suggestions regarding your shape, as I've yet to have surgery. I've had a big butt since I can remember (was called big booty girl in the 5th grade) and the thought of it disappearing is bizarre and I can't even wrap my head around it. We'll see what happens post surgery. I will say that I'm going to be a little sad if it does disappear. In terms of cookouts and your family reunions, I suggest you bring something to the cookout that you can eat and share it with your family. For example I don't eat meat, so when I go to cookouts I bring a few Boca burgers and Portobello mushroom caps to put on the grill. I bring them as part of my contribution to the cookout, and I also have something I can eat. There's always a couple people interested in the Boca burgers and Portobello mushrooms are always a big hit.
