Anyway just joined the site and also just got done getting my first steps done. Doc said he would start paperwork with insurance.

Currently I weigh in at 301, I have been overweight my hole life (since around 6 years old). I have kept very active through school and after, I work hard, and do alot of outdoors stuff, but have never been able to loose weight.

Thanks, I think im more nervious about the whole deal than anything. I had gallbaldder surgury when i was 23 and it about killed me. I am not frail by any means but something didnt go right. Now I am at a time in my life where I want to do something about my weight, its affecting me sexually (with my gf) and mentally, as well as my friends who I used to do things with but cant do as much as I did before.

My biggest fears are:

Insurance- Tonik Blue Cross (PPO) (if they cover it and if they dont will they just drop me due to my weight)

Actual surgury, I know kind of what to expect with pain, but I for some reason am always nervous about being under anyones knife (control freak)

So far I have been reading on this site and others and I am very impressed with alot of the stories, but I am also worried about some of the other things im reading, like replacements, port pain and eating.

Well back to reading more, I love forums because they are a wealth of real life information.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
