  1. Thank you Tara! Yes I too have been thinking about this option for about a year and now is when I made the move and went to a seminar and consultation. I know it won't be easy but I am hoping for the best. good luck to you on your weight loss journey!
  2. Thanks Marie! I am not going into this lightly especially with the expense, I understand the consequences and I have truly tried everything else.. I do not hve any medical issues yet. If I continue the way I am going they will come and I'm too young for all of that. I hope your pain gets better as days go by, and congrats on embarking on your new weight loss journey!
  3. Hello my name is Iliana and I have decided to get "sleeved." I had my first consultation yesterday and now have to get all the tests done. I'm self pay because my insurance has am exclusion for weight loss surgery. Because I am self pay, the surgery date is really up to me.. My struggle is, I have work activities coming up, but the more I think about it its never going to be the right time. I think I'm just nervous and I'm rabblimg lol. The other thing I struggle with is, I feel like I don't want to tell anyone about this surgery because I feel like I'm taking the easy way out, but like many people I've struggled with yo yo dieting for a long time and I want to take control of it now. Any feedback would be appreciated
