  1. Thanks so much James! This was super informative. I’m also happy that I’m taking these steps while I’m still young, I feel like now is the best time for me, especially after spending my childhood obese. I really want my 20s to be a new chapter of life in every sense of the word. My Dr. hasn’t mentioned anything about diet documentation, but I will definitely bring that up, as I would hate to find out that I should’ve been doing that all along. Again, thank you so much for your response! 💓
  2. Hi all! I’m a 19 yr old young woman in the process of getting a VSG. WEIGHT: 358 lb HEIGHT: 5’5 BMI: 59 I’m kind of doing this alone so I desperately need advice and answers from anyone who can help. I’m on month 3/6. So far, I’ve met with my doctor, I’ve had labs done, and now my next steps are to meet with the surgeon, dietician, and have my psych evaluation. I need to know when should I contact my insurance (sorry if that’s a dumb question). I’m on my mother’s plan, and we have BCBS (IL) Anthem w/ PPO Suitcase. Is the gastric sleeve covered with them? When will I find out if it’s covered or not? Thank you for your help!
  3. Thank you! This website has definitely helped me along the way so far. I’m very thankful that I came across this. I don’t have many people in my personal life who know I am doing this, so all of the support is very heartwarming ❤️
  4. Tysm! I meet with my surgeon in a couple weeks so I will see what happens and go from there.
