heart.on.my.sleeve

I am a 23 year old teacher who decided to get sleeved. At first I researched it just out of curiosity, but then I became really interested. Well after months I finally got insurance approved and had the surgery(October 6th, 2015????)!! My biggest issue right now is telling people I know that I had it done. I am young so i hear a lot of "you could've lost the weight yourself" comments. I've been overweight my WHOLE life so they wouldnt begin to understand! Im so happy i made this decision even though im in the rough stage.

My insurance is BCBS of texas, all i pretty much had to do was a psych evaluation it was a very easy process. I got approved because of my BMI, no health issues or anything. A few of my coworkers are with bcbs of Louisiana and they also had to do what i did. & Thank you!

Thank you for that! i too have experienced losing weight just to gain it back that's why im thankful to have this tool to finally help me maintain the weight!

Thanks for the well wishes! and yes i agree ill keep it close to me until i am fukly ready to explain without feeling any type of way

I had mine on the 6th
