Has everyone been at the stage I am at right now? Gone thru the process and waiting for approval and wondering if this actually is the right thing to do? Part of me wants to give the natural way of loosing weight exercise and diets(which we all know never work) yet another shot. Is this a natural feeling?

Well, The Dr's office called and said they have submitted everything to insurance for approval. Now the wait is on. They said it should only take a week or so. Does that sound about right? I sure hope so because I am so ready to get started. How long did everyone else have to wait before hearing back?

Hello, my name is Ted and I am 44 years old and live outside of Shreveport Louisiana. I have been married for 13 wonderful years and we have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I tend to be the kid of the family. I enjoy doing things outside, but especially my flower gardens and yardwork. Yes, I am a sick individual who enjoys yardwork....but only mine. I also enjoy grilling alot. My wife and I have both decided to take the plunge into Gastric Sleeve weight loss and we are very excited about the potential new life. It won't be easy, but in the end, it will be well worth it and I for one, can't wait.

Thanks everyone. I know it is going to be tough at times, but I am ready for it. Thanks for the encouragement and I will be reading everyone's posts getting advice and ideas. I wish you all luck in your journeys as well.

Well, I am new here and and my name is Ted and I have recently started my journey to taking control of my body instead of my body controling me. I have met with the surgeon, gotten all my medical records sent to surgeon and met with my cardiologist for his blessing. The Surrgeon has filed all information with insurance and just waiting on them now. I am having a PET scan monday on my heart, just as a precaution from my Cardiologist. I am hoping for everything to fall in place around mid July. I am very excited about the things to come. Should be a fantastic journey!
