Hi!
My name is Tim and I am 33 years old and I am pushing 5 bills. I have been heavy all my life and and I have tried different diet programs over the years with varying success and some total fails. I went through the process to get surgery once before in 2007 but was denied the procedure due to a lack of comorbidities. I made it all the way to scheduling the procedure and the insurance company denied me. After a series of failed diets I am now trying again get the procedure. My PCP has recommended me and things are moving smoothly thus far in the process. My goals are simple, I want to be healthy and active like all my friends. I want to be able to go to sporting events and theatres and fit in the seats. I want to be able to play church softball. I am torn as to which procedure to get, I am leaning toward gastric sleeve surgery and would welcome any advice and support ya'll can give.
Thanks in Advance,
Tim
