Glad you had such a positive experience. It is so comforting to hear positive stories about life post-op. Congratulations on making your goal weight!

Had a very productive day! Scheduled my sleep study, psych eval, and appointment with PCP to get necessary labs and paperwork. This is becoming more real everyday.

Best of luck to you!

So I had my appointment with the surgeon, nutritionist, insurance specialist. I have a list of things to do before my request is submitted to insurance. My surgeon requires a 10 pound weight loss, 1 hour a day exercise, and cessation of carbonated beverages prior to surgery. My out of pocket is $7k with $3500 due 1 week before surgery and the remaining $3500 will be on a payment plan. I am overwhelmed just typing all of this let alone executing it! I'm sure most of you can relate. I am just feeling blessed that even though its overwhelming, it's totally achievable! Just don't know where to start ????

Congratulations! This is exciting!

Thanks for the welcome! I love this site already. @Erica2013 I pray you get a yes real soon!

Hi! This is my 1st post here. I am a 44 y.o. married mom of 4. I am in the very beginning stages of this process. I actually have my 3 hour initial appointment today! I'm excited and nervous about this. So, I just wanted to "introduce" myself. I'm sure I will have questions after my appointment. Looking forward to talking with and supporting you all.
