Hello everyone! I am new here! I have my first bariatric sleeve appointment on May 20th I am a 24 year old female 5 foot 6 inches and currently 235 lbs! My bmi is 37.9 I want to know what should I expect on my first appointment, and will I be approved?! I do not have any co morbidities?, and how long after your appointment do you find out whether you are approved, I am from Nj and will be seeing Dr. Attia thanks all!!!!

Hi all! I am a 24 year old female I am 5 foot 6 inches tall 235 lbs with no co morbidities my bmi is 37.9 and my first appointment to meet with the Gastric sleeve doctor (Dr.Attia) is May 20th... Can someone please tell me there is a possibility that I can have this surgery, or am I wasting my time?! also would I be eligible for something else worst case scenario such as the lap band?? How was the first appointment and how long does it take to find out whether you are approved? Sorry for all the questions !

Thankyou so much for your response! I am praying to get approved I am so ready for this life change!
