  1. I too am just starting my journey. Iwent to the seminar and one on one consult on Thursday (Sept 6th) and I have my GI appt this Thursday. I had a over the phone call with my nutritionist today and have another one scheduled for next month. (I think I have to do that for 3 months) I have AETNA insurance and they verified everything so my ball is rolling. HOpefully I get a quick acceptance and get my surgery date soon!! I'm anxious!
  2. I have Aetna which is great insurance (PPO) so my surgery is being done with Beverly Hills Physicians Dr. Misra. I have my GI appt on Thursday and I just had a one on one with my nutritionist this morning! I'm excited for the journey my surgery date prob will be after the first of the year but i'll keep this updated!! Thanks for the motivation. HOw much have you lost so far if you dont mind?
  3. Thanks! I definately will, just doing continuous research right now. Where did you have your surgery at if you dont mind sharing.
  4. Hi my name is Kara and I am new to this board but plan on being here for a lot longer! I have decided on sleeve after doing much research and visiting my local surgeon office (Beverly Hills Physicians in Rancho Cucamonga) my surgeon is going to be Dr. Misra and I instantly knew I made the right choice after doing my one on one consult with her. I am in the beginning stages so you will definitely hear my story and hope you can cheer me on along the way. A lil about me.. like I said my name is Kara I'm 33 years old, single mother to a soon to be 13 year old son I live in the Inland Empire area of Southern California and my current weight is 273 I'm 5'4 and my reasoning for choosing WLS is for better health, to feel better when shopping, for personal self esteem and to be able to enjoy outdoor physical activities with my son . Thank you for giving me a forum for expression and I'm sure I will have many of my questions or doubts answered here. When I get my vlog up and running I will definitely post it here.
