MARCH 19 also

March 19 for me! So excited!

Aetna did not cover it. And it cost 250.

I have struggled with my weight since I gave birth to my two boys. I gained 90 pounds and have never lost it. That was 16 years ago. Just added year by year. I was diagnosed with cancer the same year my mom died of cancer a year after birth of kids. It was difficult year. My husband also had a heart attack. More than 1 person should have to deal with in such a short time. It took me years to recover but It has been 14 years cancer free and it's finally time to work on me and my weight. I have tried many many many times to lose. It's hasnt worked. I'm the heaviest I have ever been. I have so many health problems because of my weight. I feel old and im only 43 years young. I want to live again not just exist. I started on this WLS journey in October and I was just approved by insurance today!!!! I will be sleeved in March. I can't wait to use this tool to help me be me!!!

Thank you so much!

I am set for March 19th!

Thanks to everyone for the support !

Just got my insurance approval. Way excited!!! Will be Sleeved in March!!!

I'm a RN in Philadelphia. Hopefully will be sleeved March or april. Paperwork going in to insurance. Yahoo. Cant wait to transform this journey into my journey.

Hi. My name is Karen. I hope to be sleeved in march or april. They are submitting my paperwork Tuesday. Time will tell. it would be great to have a buddy because besides my husband, I haven't told anyone. You always hear the comment that it is the easy way out and it is so not. I can't deal with all that. The struggle of all these years being overweight. I cannot wait for the date of my journey to truly begin. My bmi 43.3 My journey started down this path because I couldn't fit on a ride with my nephew. I was so embarrassed. I also have arthritis degenerative disk disease, severe pain in my knee, and just generally feel old, I had colon cancer in past. I can't do the things I used to and it makes me sad. I finally want to live my life again. You are beautiful and you are strong. You can do this for yourself!

I met with surgeon in end of Oct. I will be done last MWM on Feb 10 and then everything (all test results)get submitted for approval. Does anyone know how long from here to surgery?

Thanks for the information. Congrats on your date ! Keep in touch and Let me know how you make out.
