MollyF22 62 Posted January 7, 2016 Well I did it. Last appointment was today! I lost another 2 pounds. Down 9 pounds since March. Ivan said it's gonna go by fast now as soon as they get the insurance approval. Hopefully something next week maybe. I will have 2 classes to take then talk to anesthesia. Can't even believe it.

Bloomer723 75 Posted January 7, 2016 Yeah Molly I'm so excited for you! It sounds like I'll be about 1-2 months behind you.. Maybe after we've both healed and it warms up we could meet up for a cup of broth...lol Keep me posted on how long insurance takes. I saw Dr. Thompson is running a self-pay rate of $11999 if all else fails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MollyF22 62 Posted January 9, 2016 Thank you. And we should definitely meet up for lunch sometime. I would love to meet you guys. I actually have a friend who secretly got the sleeve done back in June. We went out to ihop without me knowing she had the surgery done. But after I brought it up about me getting it, she told me. She didn't eat much. She's lost a good amount of weight too. I also have another friend from school who just had a baby that had the sleeve done 2 years ago. She lost alot too. I'm pretty excited. I'm excited to be back to myself and have fun in life. I will be here for you guys too for any questions and help along the way. UC is so great though. Dr. Ivan is my favorite. He makes my day whenever I see him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm starting my 6 month process for my insurance, which will put my surgery somewhere around July. Looking forward to getting started on this journey!
