HI, I am so excited!!! I am 34 and have been overweight my entire life. I am a nurse in the OR and I have been wanting this procedure since I first saw it. When I found out my insurance (bcbs TX) started covering it I made an appointment right away. Tonight I have a "webinar" with the Dr.'s office and then Friday I go see him. Tomorrow I go see my regular Dr. so I can start my three months supervised diet. I really hope i can have the sleeve in October. I am so glad I found this forum. I think it is so great how everyone supports each other. I look forward to sharing my journey with you all.:biggrin0:

Isn't it amazing how many of us are nurses? I think it is because we are really good at taking care of other people, but not ourselves! Maybe we should start a thread to see how many nurses there are on here!!

welcome, Im new too and Im totally jealous your insurance covers it, this one is going to cost a few dollars, but to me its totally worth it.... I swear I could have paid for this twice by now if I would have done it right in the first place rather then all of the weight management companies i have given my money to lol....

Im just waiting to talk to my Dr on Tuesday and if I get the okay, I will be scheduled for Sept 16th...

very very exciting!!!
