    Really disgusted

    One of the things you may have to realize is that people don't want you looking better than them...they don't understand what bigger people go through. I am 50, I have high blood pressure, my joints hurt a lot, and my bmi is 48. I am only 5 foot 2 and my weight is 270. I am looking foreward to living like a normal person.

    getting my ducks in a row.

    I am at the very beginning. I haven't done anything but go to the seminar. I have started a 3 month diet with my pcp. I also had him write me a letter. I have a great team at the hospital I am going too that coordinate everything. I will be talking with them Tuesday. I don't have my days off together so I have to work it out on them. The hospital is a Blue Distinction Center. I have a patient advocate that is walking me through the process. I am learning on the go so any advice is greatly appreciated. I am so nervous about the sleeve...asking myself will it work? will it be enough? how will I be able to maintain the weight loss after a number of years. just nerves. there aren't any long term studies so I feel like I am taking a leap of faith.

    Hi, my name is Sandra and I am totally new at this. I am in the process of starting the Journey. I haven't even had my surgeon meeting yet. I have BCBS federal standard insurance and my bmi is 47-48 so I am sure they will cover the surgery. just waiting on their conditions.
