I have aetna as well, I was required only 3 months even though I have seen a nutionist in the past. You will have to go through hoops and jumps but in the end it will be worth it. As long as you stay positive the process will go by fast.

I would be interested! I am still pre-op as well. Not many people know in my family that I am getting the sleeve done in May. So any support I can get and also give to anyone would be wonderful!

I chose the sleeve because it just made more sense for myself and the weight I am at. Plus I didn't want to fully re-arrange my whole insides.

Do you have a strong support system?

I am a single mother of a 5 year old.. I have been nervous as well. I went back and forth on getting surgery for 2 years because I was worried about my daughter. Finally I told my family about my choice and they have supported me and helped through the process. It does get better and easier.

Ahh one thing I like about myself is my boobs. I am hoping they don't go anywhere. I have always been in the 36-42 DDD range from 16 until now at 25. Maybe lose a little boob but I'm hoping not that much.

Glad to hear everything is going good! Can't wait to hear how your loss is going in a few weeks.

Congrats!! I can't wait till I am at that point. Keep up the good work

I did this for 2 years... I went back and forth, I want this, no I want to do it on my own, I'm a single mom what if something happens I can't be selfish, What ifs, I finally said stop, I NEED to change my life, not only for myself but because my daughter is relying on me. This is not only going to benefit you, but it will benefit your wife and children so all can be fully healthy! You can do it...

You can do this! Just keep reminding yourself of what your life will be like in the long run. If you put it off now and wait who is to say your not going to keep putting it off, or even not have it done at all. You were accepted now is your time to start your journey and new life. Constantly reminder yourself of every positive outcome!

Good luck!!

Wow I thought I was the only one! I was walking through the mall last night and out of know where a guy says hey your hott can I have your number?... I had a puzzled look on my face probably and was like ummm what?? I recently broke up with my ex of 9 years / daughter's father. I am only 25 so being single... and hit on, it's strange and awkward! I haven't had my surgery yet, but judging by other that have been through surgery... you will be hit on more, and men will want your number. I think once our confidence is back to where it should be... most of them time it should just put a smile on our face and we are being noticed. Last night after I was like umm what I said thanks and just kept on walking.

Deep breathes!! You will be fine.

Philly PA!

I use Spanx as well I usually get mine from Lane Bryant.

I wish I could of had it done at Langhorne Barix! I live minutes from there. They didn't accept my insurance. I had to find an in network dr and Edison was the closest!!

Thanks and you as well

Jenn yes I am in Philly I am going to be Sleeved in Edison NJ. What is your location?

Welcome!! I am new here as well.. as of yesterday. I have found tons of helpful information. I have notice this site can get addicting hahah

I hope it gets better for you!! I'm glad you posted, I have been looking for posts 24 hr after surgery to prepare myself!!

My psych evaluation was strange as well... asked me none related questions and then took a test on depression... I was cleared by the end of the appointment which made me happy!

I am from Philly too!!

Good luck today!! Everything will be amazing!

I have had many days like this!! One day I looked at myself and told myself this is my time to change and get control of my life!! Sometimes I look wayyy to much in to things when really I shouldn't. Educating yourself is important... we all have our own journey!
