I will be sleeved in November. I am very nervous but your success helps me to look forward to my life to come:)

Is anyone from Lafayette, Louisiana? What Doctor did you use?

I am using Dr. Eschete at Lafayette general in Lafayette. I will have the sleeve but I know he also does lap bands.

Happy for you????

That is awful. My advice is to find a new therapist. You are being treated poorly. Therapists are regular people who come with their own set of baggage. Find a person who listens to you and is willing to work with you. My current therapist is the 3rd one I Tried within a four month period. When I met her we instantly connected and I trusted her. I've been with her for years now. When we discussed wls she was understanding and supportive. Don't be afraid to make a change. Good luck!!

Sending prayers and happy thoughts:). Keep us updated.

My insurance wants 5 years of weight history. Anyone know why? Also, what other things might they throw at me? Thanks

Don't give up!!! Get all your info together. All I had to do was call my dr. The nurse did it for me. They were very kind. Good luck:)

I actually had an appointment today with the dr. I also met with insurance lady. She is 99 percent certain all I Need to turn in is 5 year weight history from my pcp. ( which I turned in). She wanted to schedule surgery today. I wasn't ready. Still praying about it. It's a huge step!!!!

Congrats!! Hope your recovery is speedy and pain free:)

I just told my sister in law and mother in law about my decision to have gastric sleeve. I was so Hurt when they were so negative. They went on and on about people they know who have gained all their weight back. They are both very large women. I've decided to never mention it to them again. It was just upsetting because I didn't see it coming. Thanks for letting me vent.

Good luck to you!!!

Thanks! Good luck to you!

Thanks everyone for the encouragement!!

I'm a teacher and I considered doing it spring break also. My break is not until the end of March. However, I've decided to wait until summer. It's hard to wait but I teach pre k. The little ones require me to be more physical. Good luck to you:)

Thanks for the encouragement:). Good luck in your sleeve. !!

Congrats!

Thanks!! I feel better about that aspect now!!

Good luck!! Let us know how you're feeling:)

Can the 5 year history be with weight watchers or a similar program?

I have uhc also. What else does the insurance require of you?

Are the shots in the stomach very painful?

Lafayette, LA Not far from New Orleans

I'm a teacher also. I was hoping a week would be enough time at home.
