i am in louisiana and have bc/bs christus. I am waiting on my initial approval now.

@beautifulnewme, can't wait to see your progress, and hear how your experience was. @mommy74, thanks for all the information

i knoow we have 1300 limit and I have been told the surgeon is gonna be 3000 and the hospital at 3900. I hope this is wrong but that is what I am budgeting at least. congrats on your progress and gl. I can't wait to have my surgery. Did you have to do the 10 week METS or naturally slim program? if so how was that?

did yall have bc/bs christus ins? if so how much did the procedure and dr cost you? I am in Lake Charles and was considering using one of the dr's and hospital for my surgery.

I am 45 y/o mother of one 18 y/o boy and a "life partner/wife". I am just beginning this journey of sleeve surgery. I have talked to my surgeon and psychologist. waiting on initial approval by insurance. I am starting this journey at 325 and my goal is 170 or size 12. I am 5 3 w/HTN and hypothyrodism. My question is two parted 1. is this surgery really worth any side effects or the mental "problems" you encounter and 2. does anyone else have BC/BS ins that makes you use a 10 week program such as metabolic syndrome program or naturally slim before your surgery?
