I'm Oct 19....so, tomorrow. Ahhhhh

I have a surgery date of 10/19 too. I'm freaking out a little bit. This liver shrinking diet has me starving!

Tricare is military insurance but they just switched to united healthcare

What are your circumstances? If you don't mind me asking

United healthcare/tricare

Well, my Insurance won't cover the sleeve for me. They will only cover gastric bypass, lapband, or stomach stapling. I am so bummed right now. I go to meet with the surgeon on June 12th to see what is best for me but I do NOT want gastric bypass. Looks like I may have to go with the band. The only way they will pay for the sleeve is if I need a revision after the band. Not cool!

Anyone have their surgery paid for by Tricare?

I just got referred to Dr Todd at Alaska Bariatric Center and was wondering if anyone knows anything about him?

I'm preop but I have to take nexium everyday now for the rest of my life so it wouldn't bother me! I just want to be healthy and stay that way!

Thank you princesstia! I will have to remember that!!

So, since we are all similar in beginning size. Does anyone mind talking about extra skin? I was wondering how bad it was and if how fast you lose the weight effects the amount of extra skin

I am so glad that things are better for you now! Thank you for sharing your story!

Oh I plan to! That's Awesome! I can't wait to have my date! I know it will be the end of the year or beginning of next year since my first NUT app is May 6. I am ready though.
