sleevehopefull27

I'm 27 married with 4 kids! Hope to be sleeved sometime early next year. Best of wishes to you!

I have Mirena it lasts for 5 years. I had it placed in march of 09 and havent had a period since april of 09!! No complaints there! I haven't noticed a weight gain with it either....I was on the depo shot and became a crazy B****! I also no joke gained 30lbs in one month!

I am 27 years old and decided to have wls 3 years ago when my 4th child was born with special needs. She is going to need my care for as long as she lives! To do that I need to loose weight! I have not been able to loose weight on my own so wls is my last ditch effort to be healthy! I decided to get sleeved. Went through the whole process and got denied because I didn't have 5 years in a row of 40+ BMI. So I have been waiting.... I decided a month or so ago to forget the ins and go to mx. I did my paper work and sent it in. I then told my parents about my plan and they pretty much begged me to try one more time here....I decided ok for them I will try ONE more time! Well I just got an email saying I was approved to be sleeved with Dr Kelly. I have wanted a date for three years and now that I have one I'm being asked to turn it down! I am so overwhelmed and stressed out with this! Thanks for letting me vent!!

Because my BMI was just shy of 40. They require 5 years of 40+ BMI.

I've been waiting for 36 months now! United healthcare wouldn't accept 3 of my 5 weights! Come hell or high water I WILL be sleeved this next year!!

Sorry for the double msg!

Thanks to all the replys! I have been waiting to have this done for the past three years! I am sick of fighting with united healthcare for an approval! My mom has known that I will be getting sleeved from the start and is fine with it....she just has misconceptions about mx. I am well prepared for this and am trying to make her feel at ease with it. I know I will be in great hands with Dr kelly and omar! Its not like I'm super huge either...my BMI is 43.8....so 280lbs I know all the do's and donts I know I will be fine. But she doesn't think I will be able to get care from doctors here if I go to mx.
