That's wonderful news!

Thank you so much, I needed to hear that!

Congratulations valdostaGA!!! Hope you are feeling well!

Nope! I'm still playing the waiting game too! I hope we all get good news soon!

Glad you're here! This really has been the best resource for information. I watched the posts for about 6 months before finally joining. I too have just finished my insurance hoop jumping and am waiting to get approval and set that date.

Carolc, thank you so much for your encouraging post! I am pre-op and started my liquids today. Hunger wasn't an issue but I have a terrible headache tonight. Your words were just the motivation I needed to remember this is temporary and great things are ahead! Thank you again for your positive words!

I also have BCBS Alabama. Submitted to insurance today. BMI 42, not for three years though. Three year history show BMI from 38-42. Mainly thanks to dieting. I will let you know their response as soon as I hear.

Hello all! I have been lurking on this site for months now learning a lot of great information and trying to figure out where the right place would be to introduce myself. I have decided that I will put my first post here, as my story is just beginning. I am finishing up my 7th month of doctor monitored weight loss plan and will be submitting to insurance the first week in October. I have spent years yo-yoing and am very confident that the sleeve will be a great tool to help me with permanent weight loss. I want to say thank you so much to each member who has shared their experiences. It has helped me learn so much about this process!
