Hello all, My name is Samantha (Sam) and I've been considering gastric surgery for years now. I feel that the sleeve may be my best option as I hear it is relatively low maintenance post-op. I am looking to lose about 80-100 pounds. I am 27, 5'10" and 270 lbs, although I do not "look it". I used to be so athletic and fit and unfortunately, due to depression, injury, and PCOS, I have packed it on. My PCOS also makes it extremely difficult to lose weight. I was wondering, what is the process? From beginning to end? How do I get started? Anyone in my similar situation? My husband and I do not have any children, but would like to start trying in about a year or so. Does the sleeve affect pregnancy? How long is recovery? ANY information is appreciated and welcomed. I apologize for all of the silly questions, I'm just lost and confused as to how to start this journey and if it is possible. Thanks

How much was the fee to start the program? Did you pay out of pocket or did insurance cover it?

How long did it take to get your surgery date? I'm just starting to look into the sleeve as an option and am feeling lost on how to start the process. Thank u!
