I thought I'd get some info out there. I have started getting things going to have the surgery. I'm 42 weighing 291 and my bmi is 50. This was an easy solution. I've tried all the diets, changing how I eat, working out. Nothing worked for me. I have 5 kids and its to the point I can't enjoy life and go do things with them. I have diabetes, hbp, HERD, high cholesterol and severe pain. I know I'm going to have to pay $1157 out of pocket. My questions are how long does it usually take for the whole process, from going to seminar to having the surgery?
