Haha I had called my insurance to verify they got the authorization, they were like no at first and then was like oh yeah but they haven't worked on it. Less than hour later coordinator called.

Let's keep in contact since we're going around same time. Can keep each motivated

@@CrissyCakes I have thought about it and I don't wanna be this way again, ever! I need the extra push to keep me on track like the dumping cause I hate to be sick, would rather give birth than be sick lol. I think this will definitely be the extra that I need. My bmi is 49-50 so I think I will be ok, what is yours?

As long as giving birth involved a ton of drugs, then yeah I'd have to agree. My BMI is 41. I'm 5'3 230. He was really pushing me for the band, which after asking on here almost everyone told me not to do it. I'm gonna call the coordinator and see if I have the option

My mom had the bypass and she said if she could do it all over again if they had it 10 years ago she would have done the sleeve . Dumping syndrome and gas are the worst for her
