  1. Dont be nervous go into this very positive and the most positive results will be your outcome. Enjoy the process more its a beginning of a whole new life for you. And all of us really. I feel very extremely fortunate that my surgeon and his whole team have done everything for me. Before I even started out all the labs and what not they sent my referral from my PCP and got my approval and now monday I do my upper endoscopy then i get my surgery date. Im super excited!

  10. Im not completely sure about the exact date but Im sure my surgery will be done in november. Im super duper excited just have to get my upper endoscopy on the 21st then wait for the GI dr to send results and then I get my surgery date! This process has been so fast and easy I cant believe how blessed I am!
  11. So hi! Im super duper excited cause I have been blessed with the oppurtunity to have WLS done. I couldnt be more excited. Heres a little backgrounnd on me. Im 21, Im overweight and Im a single mother. Initially I was leaning towards the sleeve because I actually know someone who got it and it worked very extremely well for her. So I was approve for getting the sleeve which came as a shocker to me because I am on medi-cal and they typically dont cover it since its such a new procedure but anyhow I was approved and I did all my labs the psych eval went to the dietician mam and everythkng except the upper endoscopy. Im getting that done on the 21st then when the gi dr gets the results in I'll get my surgery day. This process has gone by so quickly for me and I feel very blessed. I decided to switch to the bypass instead because it has more information back up though. But it wasnt a problem they also approved me for the bypass. Im so super excited to be recieving this tool so I can be healthier for my son and myself as well! CareFirst is an amazing insurance. They are just on top of everything. At first i was told I need to do a 6 month diet thing but the insurance brought up the point that I had already done that when I had my gallbladder removed last year. They have made live easier and the process much quicker and Im soooo excited. cant wait to be on the losing bench!
