Beginning stages

Sleeve_Getter I too am hoping for a October surgery date. I'm 5'7" 300lbs. I've had weight issues my entire life. I was able to keep weight down a bit when I played softball and was a single momma. But since 1998 I have put on 120 lbs. I've had anxiety / panic issues but are pretty much resolved until I realized I'm very apprehensive about General anathesia (sp) that not being in control deal. But I'm also over 50 now with 5 beautiful grandbabies that I'm very involved with. But I have image issues and knee pain. My story is like many others. Just gotta Let Go and Let God......hope we can keep in touch.

All surgeons and programs are different. I am 100% insurance paid. I have BCBSDE. So far I have just had to pay my copay which is $40 for specialist. And my hospital charges $100.00 fee for the program plus $60.00 for my nutrition classes. I still have to see cardiologist and pulmonary drs. Plus I already had a psychologist exam. It seems like your insurance requires a lot less than mine. Jumping through hoops but it goes fast so I hear. Good luck!
