I sent a request. December 6th Gastric Sleeve here. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

It was very casual... Nothing nerve wrecking.

YAY!!! Congrats!!! So exciting.... Im scheduled also for the sleeve on Dec 6th.

Good Luck Everyone!!! Im scheduled 12/6 and also both nervous and excited.

Maybe try- RWJ St Barnabas http://www.barnabashealth.org/Specialty-Services/Weight-Loss/Why-Choose-Us.aspx They have a very similar program as my hospital and should take your insurance plus an excellent hospital.

Sorry I couldn't help... I would definitely check all of your local hospitals (ex: like mine) and see if the have a metabolic/bariatric program. Most hospitals do and the great thing about that is that hospitals except all insurances!! What area is preferred or would you travel up to maximum?

I have an AMAZING surgical group if Princeton is ok with you?

You might just have a tiny sore throat afterwards. Nothing to be frightened about, they give you a tiny bit of sedation and your done.

Good Luck!!! We are all here for you!!

GOOD LUCK!!! WE ARE ALL HERE FOR YOU!

Thats why this is an awesome forum for us to talk with other pre/post op sleever's!

I waited till I was mentally prepared to talk about it because clearly after the surgery the weight is going to come off quickly and will be obvious. I am proud of the decision I made and tell everyone of my choice to have the VSG done. We should never shame ourselves because of the decision we have made to get help to fight this disease called obesity.

I am scheduled for 12/6!! So nervous and excited at the same time.
