Cigna won't even cover my surgery...

Hi everyone!! I'm SO glad I heard about this site! I saw a surgeon yesterday and decided I am going to get the sleeve. I'm excited and nervous!! All I remember is being overweight, so strangely enough...the idea of NOT being overweight is almost scary! (is that normal? lol) But I'm really excited! I found out that my insurance doesn't cover it at all. Even if it's a medical issue, it's excluded...so, it is costly, but I believe a good investment. I'm curious to hear your stories? How did the surgery go for you? Are you glad you got it, or would you have second thoughts now? How is your food intake? Are there any foods you just can not eat for whatever reason? Sorry for all the questions, but I'm hoping to get a better idea about what I'm getting into Would love to make some new friends and support!! Thanks everyone Laura

Yes! (and not to mention I have my class reunion coming up in August.... hehe)

Thank you! Yeah I don't know how many times I've heard "the scale lies" LOL Maybe the scale and I can be friends after I get this done? 22 lbs in 6 weeks is amazing! I'm sure changing eating habits will be hard...especially the emotional part attached to it. That may be the biggest hurdle!

I saw that! Thankfully, I am getting financial help and thank you!!

Thanks for replying! Yes! It is awesome to hear the stories and see the before and after pictures! I can't even imagine myself in the "after" part yet LOL (But I am looking forward to it!) I will look around some more and see what I can find! How exciting you have your date for the surgery! Can't wait to hear how it goes

You look great!! That's awesome
