Hello everyone!

My first appointment with my surgeon is in two weeks..I have never been more excited and more nervous at the same time. I'm so scared of what is going to happen with insurance and things like that. I have Anthem BCBS Medicaid. Has anyone had trouble getting approved for this?

Also on a 6 month supervised diet, what if you lose weight and it makes you fall below BMI expectations.

I am 5'8 and 267 lbs at 22 years old( getting ready to be 23)

I am currently on medication for severe acid reflux and Vitamin D tablets due to deficiency in my last blood work.

Any comments, words of wisdom, or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Think very hard about your reflux and the risk of it getting worse post sleeve. Be aware that is a risk with the sleeve, but not with bypass. I had lapband caused reflux and DON'T have it post sleeve but I would have a serious discussiom about this topic before committing
