Hi everyone,

Wanted to take a minute and introduce myself. My bf had the sleeve a year ago in May and I finally got enough courage up and decided to do it also. We have a 3 year old grandson that we are raising and I want to be around for a long time to see him grow up. Between the obesity, high blood pressure, and diabetes I know that probably won't be a reality without the surgery. I had my first surgeon appt on June 12 and am now waiting for insurance authorization for all of my specialist appts. I'm hoping to get the surgery by the end of August because my insurance changes on Sept 1st and the new insurance requires me to see a nutritionist for 6 months before they will authorize the surgery. I am so glad that I found this website and look forward to sharing my journey.
