    Am I going crazy?

    You're not crazy for being scared! It's a normal thing to feel especially bc big changes are going to be happening to your body! Think of it as a new beginning. My surgery is tomorrow and it's now just starting to hit me that people are going to be viewing me in a different light because I won't be fat anymore.

    Endoscopy -- covered by Insurance?

    This is what I do for a living, I check patient benefits who are having colonoscopies and gastroscopies. It depends on what your outpatient benefits are for procedures being done in an ambulatory surgical center or hospital. You may have a deductible or coinsurance depending on your benefits.

  15. I know this may sound like a stupid question, but after the sleeve how do you know you're full? What were your triggers to let you know? I know I have gotten to the weight I am because I often can't tell I'm full. Just curious
