Attending Seminar On Wednesday -- Eep!

[sr910 55]

Hi all. I'm new -- 25 years old from San Diego, CA -- and just wanted to say hi! I am attending a seminar at Sharp Grossmont in a couple days and, although the seminar will be the first formal presentation of wls information, I've already decided that I want the VSG. I'm sure I'll be posting more after I attend this seminar and jump through the inevitable insurance hoops, but I at least wanted to say hi.

Welcome! You may wanna call your insurance and see if they can tell you what they cover/your requirements because they do take quite a while to move everything through. =)

Welcome to the family! You will love this site, everyone is so helpful and no question is ever stupid, so ask away! I'm so excited for you, I remember sitting in my first seminar and talking to a lady that just had her 2 yr anniversary of her surgery and she had lost 200 lbs, man I wanted my surgery that day! I had my first consult 1week later and my surgery 2 weeks after that, I was a cash patient and you don't have to jump thru as many hoops as you do with insurance. I'm now 5 weeks post-op and I'm down 52 lbs, best decision ever!

Thanks for the warm welcome! And thanks to vst, I've already talked to a couple folks who had my same insurance or surgeon -- so far it looks like my insurance approves pretty quickly and I won't have to do 6 months of supervised dieting, and my surgeon sounds good. I have 150+ to lose, so I'm definitely hoping for a quick approval! Although, I just read a post where a woman's surgeon may have made her sleeve too small/narrow -- I'd never even thought of that! How terrifying!
