Hi Everyone, Im joining in here alittle late but also going through the process of approval. I also am so excited for approval and the more i read of all the success stories and see all the before and after photos i get more excited to start this new phase of my life. I have had my first visit with the dr and i have to say all my appts are scheduling pretty quickly. Had my psych eval yesterday and have to get a hemotology clearance on monday and two appts with nut and meet my surgeon friday. and then i guess they submit to insurance after all clearances come back. I have anthem blue cross/ blue shield i did not have to do the 3 or 6 month diet for my insurance, this seems pretty uncommon from what i am reading. my bmi is 52 and have recently been diagnosed with diabetes. My dr said since i have just started the diabetes it will most likely disappear with the weight loss. So needless to say i cannot wait to get this surgery. Best wishes to everyone waiting for approval and congrats to who have received approval already:)

Hello everyone, I am thrilled to have come across this support site. I am new to this and have not had the sleeve done yet. Still in the screening process. I am thankful to be starting this journey with my sister. We have both struggled with our weight our whole lives. So of course we talk about it alot. She brought up the gastric sleeve and has spoken to many people about it and they all have no regrets. So we started the process a few weeks ago. We are both very excited and scared at the same time, as we are both tired and scared of living like this. We both go through same things, the weight holding us back from all the things we enjoy in life and just normal activities with our children. The health issues are scary as well, we lost our father at 34 years old from a massive heart attack he was overweight also. So we are both in our 30's now and that weighs on us constantly. It is great to find this group with all the information and support and love seeing everyones success stories and cannot wait to share ours!! Thanks for reading:)
