Hopeful2016 24 Posted July 23, 2016 I'm still going through the process to submit to insurance but would like to have a buddy a that is going through this too. I'm 5'2, 44, and 221. Although I think I've been stress eating and could be more around 223 now! So how was the process for you so far? Going through insurance or self pay?

NewAdventure2016 131 Posted July 23, 2016 Self pay ... Still have to get cardio clearance and have switched to a new cardiologist so not sure what to expect. Because my BMI is only 32, I hate telling anyone - I feel like he's going to tell me I shouldn't do it, but with my severe osteoporosis is my hips, I just can't carry this weight around anymore and menopause has made it virtually impossible to lose on my own. My metabolism is shot. I look at food and gain 5 pounds. When I turned the corner to 200, I put my foot down and decided this was it. I know August 30th will be here before I know it, just hope I won't have to delay due to no clearance from cardio. I have a tiny hole in my heart (from birth) and about 6 years ago started having out of control rapid heart rate. I can usually slow it down myself but a few times have had to go to ER. He doesn't think this will stop me from getting the surgery but again just depends on what the cardio says. Thanks for responding and hoping for a quick date for you too!!

NewAdventure2016 131 Posted August 1, 2016 Welcome Jen! We can do this! I've had a few food funerals the last couple weeks, but with surgery pending August 30th I began a 30-day challenge today to start cleansing my body of all the junk. Hoping it will help with a smoother transition to a new way of eating and a new life ... Will post the info shortly in case anyone else wants to join me! Hard to do but once I get my head wrapped around it I'm unstoppable!! ... The hard part is keeping it up, but with the sleeve I'm looking forward to having a tool to do just that!
