Tiffy1026

Hi. I'm in PA. Where are you? I live outside of Philadelphia in Bucks County.

Hi. I live in Tamaqua. Not that far from philly at all!

Looking for support and people to talk to. New to this at the moment. Just starting my journey of making changes to better myself. Next month I have an appointment with my PCP to get things started.

@@Tiffy1026 How far along are you in the process? I started Nov 2013 and just got approved by insurance and given a surgery date last week. The insurance "game" can be very frustrating, but I feel in the end it will be worth every bit of it.

I have my first appointment with my PCP on August 16th so I'm not very far yet. Called my insurance today to see what requirements I need for it. I know its going to take time and I'm good with that. Like you said it will all be worth it in the end. I wish nothing but the best for you!!

And best of luck to you dear!!

Thank you very much!

I am so excited to have my sleeve surgery Aug 12th! I was diagnosed with PCOS when I was 17 and have had weight issues all my life. My cycles have been all over the place, from having a constant cycle for 8 months straight, to having no cycles for 4 months at a time. On and off B/C pills to control symptoms, but now I have been trying to conceive for the past two years with no success. Obese, infertile, and hairy do not make for a very positive self-image. With a supportive husband and a strong will to succeed, I'm looking forward to getting sleeved and starting our family!

I have PCOS and am currently new to the surgery and getting started on my journey. I feel so good knowing there is so many supporters that are here to help me with it all. My periods have never been normal or regular. Got a DNC in may and it helped for a month or so. Please feel free to talk to me and share whatever you like. I always have an open ear.

Hi. I am still new to this too. I am going in for my third weigh in this week. Half way there! ! I am super excited. Can't wait to get through the pre op. How far are you in the process?

Very new to this. Just going for my first appointment with my PCP on August 16th. Going to call my insurance company and see what requirements I need. As far as weigh ins and what not.

Thanks! Yes there seems to be a lot to talk about and much support!

Thank you! Hope all goes well for you!!

Yes. I will be doing that tomorrow! Unfortunately one downfall is that I have to pay 2000.00 dollars up front. But I keep telling myself it will all be worth it!

Just starting my journey as well! Best of luck to you!!

Good to know there are people to talk too!

Doing research. Seeing what my insurance requires. Have my Dr appt next month for referral.

Looking for support and people to talk to. Making plans for the surgery!
