My name is Alisha and I am 26. current weight 216, height 5.2 I have family history of diabetese, stroke, cholestrol, sleep Apnea, hypertension, kidney disease. Infact my mom has all of these conditions on top of morbid obeisity,, she is currently in the process of gastric sleeve surgery. When I went with her to her appointments I had a realization what uf I become this in the upcoming years. So far I dont have any comorbiditys but I am very overweight and ubhealthy weight wise. I have done many diets and programs only to gain all that back. I thought since my mom has sleep apnea, I might too and that will help me getting appricedr. By the way my bmi is 39.5 I have thyroid and currently take methimazole 5mg. I also have chronic constipation and chronic fatigue syndrome due to thyroid. My thyroid is hyper BUT I have all the symptoms of hypo, I know its weird, the docs cant seem to explain that either. Anyways when I went for my sleep apnea results and it appears I don't have it, but the doc suggested to get MSLT done.. It is multiple sleep latency test since i.have all.the apnea symptoms. Did anyone else had to go through this? Iam so scared that I won't be approved by my insurance. I have no other Comorbidities but due to my family history I am very prone to all these problems. I am seeing a bariatric surgean and finished all their requirements like nut, psych, barium swallow, ekg,.blood work etc. I so hope this works out, I really want a.fresh start to being healthy. thank you for listening, this forum has been a great treasure and I truly appreciate each and everyones input. Alisha

Wow so glad to meet fellow sleevers from valley care. So what are your stats, lets share: Im 26 yr old and weigh 214 currently. I finished nut class and modules now waiting on sleep apnea results. Very excited. Which insurance carriers are you gals with?

I was diagnosed hyperthyroid but all my symptoms match hypo. Does anyone else have had this? I am so confused, but I hope that my sleeve surg will affect.my thyroid positively. I will have it in april

Oh wow congrats to you! I cant wait to be approved too:)

Wow congrats! You look fab!

Oh good luck! Hopefully it sails smooth.. Did you had to write the letter or your doc wrote it? How many pages was it? Just curious, I found out today that my doc went for maternity leave and i.don't know who will be writing my letter, kind of nervous about that..and if they do write, will they do a good job? Keep us posted! By the way 27th is my birthday so double good luck to you! Alisha
