Nervous but SO excited

[jjoyce282 23]

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 :-)

Welcome!! My surgery is march 20 and my hubby will be sleeved over the summer... Read all posts good bad and ugly... Some are kinda funny and know that you are open to ask any question!

Be patient with the process... good luck.

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!
