jjoyce282 23 Posted January 23, 2013 Hi all! My name is Jennifer. I live in Orlando, FL and I am very excited to start this process. I recently switched insurances after I found out that the insurance through my new job covers bariatric surgery! My husband and I are both having the surgery done (hopefully soon)! We have chosen Dr. Kim at Florida Hospital Celebration! We meet with his nurse practitioner tomorrow to see which medical clearances we need! Hopefully we will get our surgery dates soon! I am loving this forum....all the support and encouragement is great! I will keep y'all posted throughout my journey! Keep those before/after pics coming because those are keeping me motivated :-) 1 Courtney reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Courtney 12 Posted January 24, 2013 Congrats Jennifer! I am in Kissimmee and wanted to go with Dr. Kim but my insurance coverage through my employer excludes any type of WLS and I couldn't afford the $18K self-pay price tag. However, I am being sleeved in Cancun on March 8th - very excited! Looking forward to hearing about your journey...best of luck to you and your husband!
