Thank you so much! -
Hi, I’m signed up for sleeve at the end of Jan. My husband is supposed to travel with me to watch me after the egd and after surgery. He tells me this won’t work on me, I’m old ( just turned 50) and it’s my metabolism and workout schedule. He says I’d be better off getting a bunch of lipo and I will just ruin my body with a lifetime of naseua and vomiting and not getting any results . He says I just need a personal trainer. Though I know none of this is true it’s giving me second thoughts. He says I don’t eat much so this wouldn’t work. Well obviously I do eat or I wouldn’t weigh 200 lbs, prediabetic and 35 BMI. Sadly, he is an addict and Shoujd get this or be supportive like I was through his tough journey. Now I’m awake at night wondering what if I do this and lose nothing or end up worse? Any thoughts, suggestions or advice would be so much appreciated. Thank you!

Anyone gone to Blossom Bariatric (self-pay) in Las Vegas?

Thank you for this!! That’s what I was hoping. I’ve been happy so far too with everyone I’ve had contact with at Blossom and everyone there has been very kind. I did not experience that at the Bariatric center here in MN. 😊 good luck to you!! Keep me posted!! -

Thank you! I’ll let you know. I paid the 500.00 then my husband had me second guessing doing it at all so now I’m into the next deductible year also and we switched from bc/bs to medica. I also am paying down the 6200.00 but they never made it clear if thaf was including insurance or that plus what’s billed. I started at a local Bariatric place here in mpls and they did the same- said I was a foot and a half taller than I have ever been lol. It was like they had no intention of doing the surgery. I went through 6 months of meds, hoops and everything I have tried all these years and only gained and figured blossom was the way to go. Sorry this is so long but I will keep you posted. 😊 best of luck !! -

Thank you so much for all the awesome advice and support. I do have other comorbidity factors and my weight keeps climbing no matter how much I exercise. You have all helped me so much. It’s really reinforced how much I want to do this. This is more support and advice I’ve had in anything. Thank you all so much! ❤️ I’m very greatful.
