Chubrubgirl 1 Posted June 8, 2012 Chubrubgirl. -- where in Baltimore are you having Your surgery? Mine will be at GBMC. Hopefully in late July or early August. I am at Franklin Square. I would have chosen GBMC if it were closer. That is where I had my children and love that hospital. How have you likes your experience there thus far? Fr Sq has been AMAZING.

kczar 166 Posted June 8, 2012 If everything goes according to plan, I should be an August sleever! I finish my six month diet the end of June, but my company's schedule rules out July as an option. So unless I have a hiccup with insurance (and I doubt I will), I should have a date mid-August. And Marley, welcome to the forums! When I first started considering WLS, I absolutely ruled out the sleeve since it's not reversible. But after doing a lot of research and talking with my surgeon, I think it's the best option for me. Since you have a medical background, you have a leg up on a lot of us here. Roam the threads and you'll pick up a lot of great information. Good luck! 1 futureskinnypants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuStartInTx 31 Posted June 8, 2012 Hi Ladies! I've just gotten Ins. approval and am now scheduled for Aug 13th. It's being done by Dr. Collier in Conroe, Tx (just north of Houston). I was excited but now that it's "real" I'm having a lot of anxiety and second guesses! Not worried that I won't be able to do the work, just worried something will go wrong with the surgery. Now after reading your posts I'm feeling better - glad you're all here! 1 futureskinnypants reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How have you likes your experience there thus far? Fr Sq has been AMAZING. GBMC is great. While Franklin square is closer to me, too my insurance BCBS Fep did not support it. Good luck on your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
