Hi! I'm from Tampa fl! I'm starting my mandatory diet Wednesday with my pcp and my surgeon thinks I'll have my surgery either in February or May 2016

I have my first consultation on Monday. I'm way behind you. But don't let that discourage you. You will get a surgery date soon. Be positive

I am curious as well as to how every thing went

Yay!! I'm happy for you!

Awesome and I'm so happy for you!! And to the other poster..a lot of my friends have been approved through the same insurance that's why I'm considering it but I have bad luck and that's why I'm nervous I'll get denied lol. I'm worried I'll get turned down by my pcp then my insurance ..I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard

I hope so Molly. I'll be 30 in feb and it hurts that my oldest tells me that she's sad that I get tired to play with her outside and obviously it's because of my weight. My family has a history of heart disease as well and I just want a new life and I am willing to change 100%

I don't have any proof in writing that I've had weight loss attempts I just know that I've tried MANY ATTEMPTS lol. What are the things I should say to get my pcp to agree with the surgery? I want to tell her that I've tried EVERYTHING! I got really heavy during my pregnancies so I suffer from high bp managed by medicine and I have high cholesterol. I have had three sleep studies done already and all came back negative. My bmi is a 54. I have amerigroup through Medicaid in Florida so I just honestly hope that my pcp clears me and my insurance accepts the surgery within a reasonable time. Right now I am having anxiety about it lol

Great job!

I'm 29 and I wish I had the surgery sooner but I'm hoping to have mine before I'm 30
