Glad you are doing good...hope you get sleep soon!

Hey! I am having my first appointment this month...hoping I dont have to wait to long to get it done. I am sure that it is hard having to wait but look at it this way it took years to get over weight and in just a few months you are on your way to getting rid of all the unwanted weight! You have 6 months to start window shopping for new clothes! Congrats! Take care!

Ok so I have diabetes, and hyperension, and I weigh over 300lbs. I have been to 3 different information sessions and I have finally decided to get weight loss surgery. I think I am going with the gastric sleeve and Dr. Macik, but I am not sure. Has anyone used Dr. Macik? If so what were your thoughts and experiences? My other concern is that United Healthcare will not want to pay for the surgery. Has anyone had to deal with United if so what was your experience? I have my 1st appoointment on 8/27/12 and I am excited!!! I just hope my insurance does not make this a difficult fight for me and that I can get it done! Ohhh one more thing...excess skin?! I know I am going to have alot...does excercise help it or will I need cosmetic surgery? I appreciate your thoughts, stories, and info.....please please tell me whats up, what to expect!!! BigBird hopes to be a littler bird soon!
