hi! im new also' date=' 32 with 3 kids, im scheduled for surgery Oct 23 & am very nervous and excited at the same time!![/quote']

Seems like we have a lot in common;) I will be 32 in a few months! And hopefully a surgery date also!

I have twice and both times they referred me to the thread online! That is where I copied that line from! I'm so confused...lol

Hi all! I am a newbie and am beginning my journey. I have wanted this for soo long it seems that I can't believe I'm actually doing it!

I am 31 and have a wonderful husband and 3 children! I have so many questions that I am going out of my mind...lol...I go in for a psych eval tomarrow, then should be able to submit to insurance! Anyone have advice or up for my questions lmk! Thanks

The individual must have actively participated in non-surgical methods of weight reduction; these efforts must be fully appraised by the physician requesting authorization for surgery;

Ok this is exactly what is in my plans guidelines. Does this mean I need 6 months of diet or should the diets I've used in the past be sufficient as long as my pcp describes them in the referral? I have got the referral, going in for the psych eval tomarrow, and really don't want to miss a step! I am so nervous that I've missed something.....please help.

I'm at the other end of the state' date=' in Toledo. I don't think anyone from Toledo is on here. I still have one month of nutritional counseling to do. Getting anxious.[/quote']

I am only about an hour from Toledo in nw Ohio. My mom and brother live in Toledo! Well I'm in the beginning stages, but pretty excited that I got my pcps approval today! One more thing checked off the list, now onto the psych eval! Once that is done how much longer should it take to start classes?

I am in the beginning stages of trying to get the sleeve, my insurance company said bariatric surgery is covered but they had never heard of the sleeve! I want this so bad I'm now very nervous I won't be approved and will go through all these appointments for nothing! Anyone have bcbs in Ohio?
