Azjanie are you excited how are you doing what's Ur starting weight if you need anything let me know

I am in Fountain Hills, going thru the VA who uses St Luke in Tempe. I have my physc eval on the 30th. already down 32 lbs, did the 8 weeks move program now just waiting. Im doing a 1 week Protein Shake fast on my own to see how I do, wanted my sleeve done in october but looks like november

[azjanie 43]

mizzchrisv My current weight is 212. I am having my sleep study done on 10/01. Which will hopefully show that I have sleep apnea so I will qualify for surgery. It's strange to hope that something is wrong with you just so the insurance will approve something that you need. I am glad that you are doing well. Dr. Chen seem nice at my initial appointment.

I had my surgery Aug. 14 with Dr. Blackstone at Scottsdale Shea. Great experience. Have not been able to make it to any of the support groups as I am a single mom and work full time. Would love to meet up with other AZ sleevers : )

Help needed from Arizona Sleevers!

I need a new PCP who is WLS friendly. I went to mine today and refuses to write me a authorization because he's had 2 patients this month with complications from the labband. I told him I wasn't having the lap band but he still refuse. I am so frustrated this was one of my final steps now I will have to,wait until,I find a new PCP .
