Yes they paid for all of mine, I went to Austin for my surgery. Great group of Dr.s there.

The lady who called me said that they may not pay for all of mine so I'm kinda worried now. *lol* I'm hoping they'll pay for all of it since I'm over the fat% and have other health risks. Keeping my fingers crossed.

They're sending me to Temple to get mine done.

:thumbup:Hi there,

I actually requested to go Austin and my PCP put it in for me as they were faster at getting me in and banded. The only thing I had to pay for was the psych exam, no biggie and well worth it!! I did not like the psych doc hear in Killeen, he depressed me!!! What are they wanting you to pay for?

I didn't know Austin would be faster or I might have gone that way. I'll see if I like the doctor and staff in Temple, if not, I may change. The psych doc, was it Chupik? I'm going to that office, but I don't know which person there I'll see.

Not sure what we may have to pay yet - I should find that out on the 21st. But I don't see why they wouldn't pay 100% of mine. Guess I'll wait and see.

So how are you doing with yours? Liking it? I'm really nervous about the whole idea of it, but my husband is reassuring it'll be ok. I just want it done since we only have 16 months left and we're out of the Army!

hey, i live in Killeen, and i was just wondering if anyone who also lives there might want a band buddy. someone to work out with, keep you on track, etc. i've been banded or 6 weeks now, so i'm still at the beginning, and i'm just starting to exercise. if anyone is interested, let me know.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
