Hi everyone! I am in San Antonio, TX. I am trying to start the process to have the Sleeve done at SAMMC. I went to my PCM and was told I might not be a candidate and I did not get a referral to the bariatric clinic. This is so frustrating! I have been battling with my weight since I was 17. My BMI is 36.6. Has anyone been through the process at SAMMC? Can you tell me how you got started? Also, does anyone know of comorbidities other than the obvious ones usually listed that they will accept? Thanks!!

Today is my first step day! My first appointment. I hope I get to meet the surgeon. I want to get a feel for him before I commit to using him. I still have to write down questions. If any one can think of anything they want to know let me know and ill ask it tho I know doctor vary with requirements. Wish me luck. Oh any any of you in here that are just starting feel free to add me as a friend. I think we will all need each other before this is over.
