Hello everyone!

I have just started the program up here in Duluth at Essentia Health. Had my first appt meeting with the nurse as well as my first meeting with the dietician.

Just wondering if anyone else here on the board is from the area?

I'm from North Branch, MN. Maybe 2 hours or so from Duluth. I'm new to here and glad to see someone from MN. I am just starting the process also. I am going to Unity Clinic in Fridley, MN. I have my third psych appointment next Thursday then all my info should be submitted to insurance to get the approval. Then will be the appointment to schedule my surgery. I'm so anxious waiting for my approval. I started the process at the end of July. I guess I'm just impatient though. How is your process coming along?

My surgeon said while rny is the gold standard in bariatrics he also said the sleeve is a wonderful choice. Weightloss is up there quickly as with rny. If it were me I'd have the sleeve but nomination insurance won't take it. Welcome and you'll make the right choice!
