sleevedAndRelieved

May 25th.. one week away from the losers bench

So you’re self pay? Where are you having your surgery?

Where are you from Jaz? I’m from NJ.. I’ve created an IG account documenting my journey with pics and videos you can follow me there @ __heartonmysleeve__

Things are going rather quickly... I feel all types of emotions but excitement tops them all... I just have my psych eval left and then visit with my PCP for letter of medical necessity and then I’ll get a tentative date at my next supervised visit! [emoji51]

Hi Jaz, id like to be ya buddy & support person.. i am also going thru the 6 supervised visits... I started my process in October and I’m on visit 4, just 2 more to go. It’s getting close...

Do you have social media. I would love to follow your journey

So I've been contemplating weight loss surgery for a while... back in January 2017 I went to the seminar,& then had a consultation with my surgeon... after the consultation I still needed some time to process things and decide if this was what I really wanted to do.. September 2017 I decided to move forward with the process.. had a second consultation with my surgeon and the process began..:: I'm currently doing my 6 supervised diet visit with the nutritionist(as required by my insurance) and surgery will be scheduled on the 4th visit... I haven't told anyone yet.. not my parents, my sister no one.. only because I feel like they wouldn't be supportive of my decision and I didn't want them to try and talk me out of it... I did however tell my God sister(who is already sleeved) and she actually referred me to her surgeon... once I get a surgery date I will tell them tho...... anyone else struggled or contemplated about telling their family about their decision to have wls???

Just looking for sleevers or soon to be sleevers that's located in NJ or surrounding areas.

Just curious to know who has Aetna and what was your experience like? How was the approval process... did it take long? Are they super strict??
