Thanks....trust me I tried to get my insurance to pay, but my employer opt out of weight loss surgery. I figured I'll get a loan through care credit. I generally invest in other things, so I'll invest in my health. Thanks so much. Good luck to you! Keep in touch

Investing in your health is the best idea! Good luck to you!

Good luck to you as well. And better later than never. It's great you are getting sleeved now. All that matters is that you are doing in now. Where are you in your pre op process?

Thanks! I'm in the 2nd month of physician supervised weight loss required by insurance. Have completed the psych eval as well. Hoping for surgery in early November.

Yes I couldn't agree more. So true. Good luck to you as well. Yes please let's keep in touch. You are having your surgery in October right?

Yes, that's what I'm shooting for. I have a training October 5 on the Eastern Shore, so I think I want to wait until the week after......or maybe have it the end of September so I can get out of the training....lol

Wow I've been on this site for about 3 months and never see anyone close to me. It's always Southern md. Glad to know I'm not alone. Good luck with your surgery. Let's keep each other posted.

Oh wow....I know exactly where Pasadena is. Keep in touch

I'm in Maryland...Baltimore County. I will be having my surgery at Bayview Medical Center. I have my last weight management appointment on August 18th. I have already completed my psych, nutrition and cardiac appointments. I'm somewhat excited but apprehensive. It would be great to have mutual support close by. [emoji846]

Just checking to see how things went. I know you said you would be finished everything by the 18th. I just finished my sleep study last night. I just need the psychological evaluation

30 years in MD (Sykesville/Eldersburg) but I moved to Colorado last year Good luck to all of you! I've enjoyed the nostalgia of listing all those places. I am pre-op here in CO, but wish I had done this years ago in MD when a doctor first suggested it!

Oh wow! I been here in Elkridge since 2007 (port Capitol). How do you live Colorado? My son's girlfriend is there now and my son is headed there next week....

Surgery went really well. I haven't had any problems at all. I had my follow up appointment today, 13 pounds down. How are you doing?

Hi fellow Marylanders :-)

I have appointments with AAMC and Johns Hopkins Bayview in a few weeks -- which one do you think has the better program? Am I crazy to schedule first appts with two separate centers?? AAMC is closer, and I have started the nutrition classes already.

I love AAMC. Dr. Gandsas is awesome!

Colorado is great but the drivers are horrible. Much less green than Maryland, but lots of wide open sky, which is more fantastic than you'd think. In a year I haven't found any favorite restaurants yet- which may be a blessing when about to get sleeved!
