Thank you!!! So excited for you! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ruth1less how long did it take you to get approved with your insurance company or is that what you are waiting on. I did consider going to Mayo Clinic but I met some of the office staff at Baptist and really liked them. Also are you having to lose any weight before surgery a few people have told me that their surgeons require them to lose at least 10 lbs before they would schedule the surgery. Also how do you find local support groups? I live in Lake City which is about 45 minutes from Jacksonville and with 4 kids it's hard to get to those meetings.

Any Lake City buddies? I have completed my 6 month documented Doctor diet plans and had little success. Anyone out there know what I am to expect at the psychological evaluation? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Is anyone in Lake City, Florida? I'm starting the process of getting WLS the end of March or beginning of April. It would be nice to have a surgery buddy or someone that can give me a few pointers. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have not had my WLS yet but have you asked to be put on something for the acid reflux/heart burn? Have they done an ultrasound to see if you have any defects in your esophagus? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
