I am looking for some Delaware Sleevers or maybe nearby, local. Would be nice to have some local supporters too.

I have to wait for 6 months for insurance. In the meantime 8 have alot to do. 6 months nutritional classes,ekg,egd,chest xray, psychology appt, sleep study, cardiac clearance, pulmonary clearance, stress test, lab work, life classes, final appt with surgeon, 2 week wait for approval, 2 week liquid diet... About me. I am 33 years old, I have a wonderful husband we have been together for 9 years but married for 1. We have 6 wonderful children -he came with 3- I came with 2 - and we had 1 together (she is now 6 years old.) I have dealt with my weight on and off my whole life. Always trying to get smaller doing yo yo diets that always FAILED. I would lose 15 pounds and gain 25 back. Neverending struggle. I had all 3 of my children by c section so ab muscles pretty destroyed, have the ugly flab that hangs already. My husband didn't want me to do this at first he said that I could do this on my own. When I met him I was 158 but now 221. He went to the weight loss seminar with me and I think it made him see how I feel better and gave him a better understanding of how unhealthy I really am and why I need this help to get the weight off. Once you hit the 80-115 lbs overweight it's so hard and discouraging to get off with just diet and exercise cause God know I have tried all that. ALL THE WASTED MONEY ON ALL THOSE GIMMICKS. I am ready for my life change. Good luck to all.

I'm postponing mine I just found out that my ins only pays 50% of the 16,000 dollar surgery. So my out of pocket would be 8000 and they want 4000 before they do surgery. Than make payments for the rest. So depressed

Less knee pain, breathe better, sleep better, run with kids, clothes that fit, lose fluid retention, gain self esteem, less headaches, get rid od depression,weigh less than my husband, have better overall health like a 33 year should. I'm sure there is alot more.

That is awesome. How do you feel overall post op.

Anyone have any advice on this wait process. How was the approval for BCBS

Awesome congrats. Dr.Wynn is gonna do mine. Dr.Peters is so nice, he did my seminar. How are you feeling?

I'm in Delaware. Just started the process with Chrias.
