rollargirl 210 Posted April 22, 2013 I kn I know right? I'm freaking out but I'm still in' date=' for the moment anyway. I know others have been through what I'm going through and it'll be ok. I think. Girl I'm scared, lol. But I keep forgetting you're going to be there too. That does make me feel 1000 times better. Have you signed up for the Facebook support group yet? I tried to sign up for the May 2013 one but she never added me. Which is sad cause we're going to go through the same things around the same time so it would be great to be on FB together. However, the general FB people are awesome and they have shown all kinds of love. If you haven't checked it out, the link to the VST post is below. You just have to request to join and she'll approve you within a day. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/topic/70990-facebook-support-group-page/[/quote'] Hi was it the "sleeve sirens" ...

hope4health 4 Posted April 22, 2013 I am getting sleeved on May 13. Feel like I am going to grieve for the foods I will no longer be able to have. Very nervous yet am so sick of living in an obese body. Am being sleeved by Dr. Kelly. Am unsure which hotel or hospital I will be staying at. Best of luck to everyone. Keep us updated on your progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any other ways to get this fianced for less down? I am paying out of pocket. Here's a link to a company that finances people with bad credit. You only need to have a 580. Of couse the interest is going to be high but the payments can be spread out over 5 years. I know nothing about them so proceed with caution and research. The Company is Patient Source. Someone on another bariatric surgery board is using them. http://www.patientsource.net/ Hope this helps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
