UPDATE~ So I completed my psych eval Friday June 27th. That was my last appointment before scheduling with the surgeon. This morning my apt was set with my Surgeon and I will be seeing her on July 15th. From what I am told she is about one month booked out so the soonest I can get in for surgery will be about mid August which is what I had in mind anyhow! I am so excited. For the next two weeks I am on a low cal low carb NO sugar diet...then I will be on the liquid diet prior to the surgery so basically life as i knew it is now over...amen!!!!!

Thanks everyone

I decided I would do the sleeve. I have been losing and gaining the same 40-50 lbs since 2000 and I am tired of it. Now that I made my decision some of my friends and family have expressed to me that I should just continue to try it on my own because of the risks involved. Is anyone feeling like this????

So my insurance was verified and I was notified that would be getting a cAll to set up my initial appointments!!!! I am so excited and ready to do this!!!!!

How exciting congratulations

You look fantastic!

Has anyone heard of this being waived? My PCP knows how long I have struggled with my weight, knows that I have gone to her for help and lost 20 just to gain 40...has anyone heard of BCBS insurance waiving the 6 months in any extreme cases????

Hello, I am starting at 398....I had no idea that this process could take a year or more before getting a date....i thought it was somethng I would be doing soon....i am feeling very sad now....

i have not seen the suregon yet, im waiting for my insurance to clear....but your post caught my eye....i have both types of sleep apnea and have been on a cpap machine for 3 years....will that cause a problem for me to have the sleeve done????

i am waiting clerance for insurance to get started! are you post op?

how exciting for you!!!! i am still waiting for them to clear my insurance and get me scheduled!!! until then i am on a 1200 cal diet to see how much i can get off before i go see her and get going, its kinda like my last ditch effort to see if i can do this on my own...i hope to be moving along soon!

wow, you look amazing!!!

I cant wait to be at the part!!!! I am so excited and nervous and just I CANT WAIT!!!!
