I have Kaiser insurance so I have done everything through them and recently was approved for the referral to have the sleeve. I am scheduled to meet with my surgeon on June 24, 2015 and I am sooooo anxious. I have heard over a hundred times "you don't need surgery, you just need to exercise." They don't know my struggle. I can still remember the first time I saw MORBIDLY OBESE on my medical chart...I cried then and I still cry when I go in the store and I can't find the blouse or the pants I want.....I am very anxious yet very excited....I am in desperate need of encouragement.
