exclusive22 10 Posted October 8, 2014 I have been up & down with my weight for years. I recently researched wls and found out that my insurance will cover it. But I have to do a 6 month nutrition class which is ok. I am my heaviest 257 and would like to be 145/150. I attended the seminar and set a appt. For the 1st class. My journey starts. Wouldn't mind corresponding with others who are having or had wls. After research I decided to go with the sleeve. Looking forward to meeting new ppl.#blessed????

beachgal2935 596 Posted October 8, 2014 I start my journey next Tuesday, October 14th. I'm lucky enough to be having it done at the mayo Hospital in Jacksonville, FL where I live and my insurance pays for it . After my coordinator meeting to go over all the paperwork, I will meet with the nutristionist for an hour then the therapist for an hour. The following Tuesday, I meet with the surgeon. I'm really excited and ready to get this ball a rollin'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
