Your right on the support from non overweight people.... It helps to talk to someone thats been in your shoes so to speak.... June sleevers ROCK!!!!!

Congrats on your approval date!!! I'm June 4th here Houston TX

Ok..... I guess a blog is where ya just ramble on about what youre thinking or doing. Well here goes.... I've battled with weight issues my whole life. I was the "husky kid" or the "big strong boy"... I was "FAT". Well now thats out of the way. Most of my issues came to the for front after my dad passed away when i was 13y/o.(my parents were divorced for about 10 years before he(dad) passed.) I had to be the man of the house, well in my eyes I had too be. I had my mom and two sisters to help take care of. So not only was i dealing with my dads death. I was also dealing with puberty in a house full of women! So i had a few close friends but I wasn't really a social butterfly. I would be the guy who liked to chill at the house with my family. Throughout Junior High and High School I was a good student but really missed my dad. Its hard to ask your mom .. "why do I get a hard-on?" Anyways lol.. That pretty much sums up my youth (JR and HS) Thats when i started to get "BIG" I was probably 250 by the time I graduated High School. ( I'd love to be 250 now btw). To be continued.....

Ok..... NEW date.... June 4th!! Ok that was a fast 7 days gone!

Congrats you look great.... You'll be at your goal in no time

Never heard that one..... Hope all is well and you recover soon

Got my sleeve set for June 11th... I have 2 pre-op test still. Galbladder ultra sound and someother test I cant spell right now lol ( scope down my throat) . Then I have a 5 day pre-op diet... With all the stuff I have left to do its gonna get here before I know it. Cant wait to be on the losers bench!

Ok just got the news today my sleeve date is June 11th!!! They moved me up from July 9th now I have less time to worry but now it seams like whoa horse! If that makes any sence. Cant wait to get it over with lol...

Thats what ive heard so im just going to wing the protien after the surgery....

Ok my sleeve date is July 9th but was told June 4th might be possible. So im good either way now that its approved I feel like ot will be here so fast. Before approval it crawled. Well cant wait to be on the losers bench!

I have BC/BS I took exactly 4weeks once the doctor submitted all of the paper work. Just call the insurance and follow up on the request. Yes the wait seems forever but in reality its not long at all.

Yeah my co-pay was $40 bucks took about hour and a half total. All I can say is just LISTEN to what they ask closely.

Houston Texas here... soon to be sleeved (July 9th)
