I have gone to orientation and am waiting to have my evaluations scheduled. The hospital/doctor's office doesn't schedule them until after they've talked to insurance company. I know my insurance won't cover it but it's the process they go through (and there's always hope that insurance might). I really want this and don't want to fail at it, so am trying to face my fears/anxiety and understand them (such as change in eating and excess skin). I'm almost 52, 100 pounds or so overweight, and having lots of joint pain and GI issues.
Another question - at the seminars and on-line I can find lots of positive testimonials/reviews, but not many negative. Would love to hear from people who regret the surgery or who have bad experiences what those are.
