@ I've only had my first appoint. I haven't gotten ask many questions but, this is something I will start inquiring abt next appoint. I plan to also call my insurance & ask questions to get clarification on everything..Thank you! Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App

@ so far they said I dnt have to pay anything out of pocket. All appointments are convered all the way to the procedure as everything will be done at the Oband center. I was initially interested in the band but after my first visit I'm really leaning towards the sleeve. I dnt like the idea of the foreign object & the adjustments (I hate needles) & the possibility of having the foreign object for life. I like the sleeve as i have 100lbs to lose & a more permanent solution. Thank u, I will use my gyn records Blessings! Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App

She sound like negative Nancy & debby down trying to rain on your parade. Be proud of your choice & keep it moving boo! & for her to come to you like that might be a hippa violation, tell her to back off. Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App

I went to my first consult yesterday thinking the lap band & came out deciding on the sleeve. She recommended the sleeve as i have 100lbs to lose & I didnt like the idea of a foreign object, needing adjustments (i hate needles) & deciding whether i was going to wear this for life. I also read abt people gaining the weight back, not that it cant happen with the sleeve but personally i feel the sleeve will help me longer term. Good luck& blessings!

I recently had lunch with some colleagues from work & they wanted to sit outside to over look the Water outside the restaurant, the set I was literally squeezing in to the booth, we ended up moving to inside the restaurant. I wanted to crawl under a rock????. Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I am just starting the process as well. I had my first appoint yesterday & have 5 more nutritional visits as required by my insurance. Hope to get approved Nov/Dec. 6mths to learn nutrition & learn abt the new life we'll have after the surgery. Blessings to us!

Hi Angie, I just started my journey as well. I just had my first appointment yesterday & have 6mths of nutritional visits as required by my insurance. I'm praying to God I get approved in Nov/Dec. Feel free to reach out! Blessings! Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App

Hi Tina, I too just started the journey, I just had my first appoint yesterday. My insurance require 6mths of nutritional visits. I also have future appoints scheduled (psych eval, sleep study, stress echo...). So far i meet the BMI requirement (bmi 43). Like you, I'm hesitant to tell others. I have chosen to tell 1 person so far, that I want to do this. I dnt know if I will tell anyone else. Once approved, I may tell my sister but, my mom would not understand. I'm excited to take this journey, I'm just tired of the yoyo dieting. I feel this will help make huge difference. Good luck & blessings!

That's awesome! Congrats! I have the same insurance. Gives me hope! Sent from my LGMS631 using the BariatricPal App
