About Me
Hello everyone, my name is Jannie, I am 46 yrs. old and have been struggling with obesity on and off my entire adult life. I tried various fad diets just to lose some of the weight and gain more back. My insurance company Anthem and Tricare requires a 6 month (CONSECUTIVE) physician supervised diet programs visits. I started this journey back in December. My PCP has put me on Phentermine several time in the past with no success. I have tried several weight loss drugs from off online some with questionable side efforts; so rather than continue putting my life in danger with these different diet pills, I have decided to do research on what would be the best thing for me and my life and a healthy future. I visited this CFWL and consulted with one of the physicians. After talking the physician and discussing this with my family I decided that the surgery type (Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy) would be the best thing for me. I attended meetings with my surgeon, and had my psych evaluation and 6 months of appointments with my Nut. I was approved to have my surgery on May 22. I’m here on this site to get and to offer moral and emotional support ...so message me because I need all the support that I can get. Thanks for visiting my profile.
