New and still hoping

[sunflowergirl 0]

Hi, I am new here. I have decided this would be the best choice for me and I am here to learn as much as I can. My husband is trying to have the same surgery. We are in just the beginning stages. We feel our insurance will cover this for us and we attended a seminar with the surgical team that we feel we will go with. I have read through so many posts in the forum and I have learned so much already. Robin

Welcome Robin and hubby. So glad you found us. This forum is a great place for research,support and sometimes just needing a place to vent.

I'm just about 4 weeks post op. and I can tell you this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I feel blessed, truly blessed to have my sleeve.

I hope you and your husband are able to get approved and have your surgery soon. I believe you will not regret it.

Please keep us posted as your journey progresses. Best of luck.

Thanks....we did hear from our insurance broker and she said WLS is a covered benefit. Now we just need to find out if Vertical Sleeve is covered and what requirements are needed. Keeping fingers crossed.....Robin
