Gastric Sleeve Patients

I am starting my journey with weight loss surgery. January 26, 2015 is my last appointment with my PCP for my supervised weight loss, I've already completed my psych eval and my appointment with the nutritionist. I am considering either the gastric sleeve or gastric bypass. I joined this group for support as well as suggestions on what surgery to get. I am anxious and nervous and excited all at the same time. I am a little concerned about insurance verification and being approved. At my first visit I was 285 pounds, my current weight is 254. I am hoping to have surgery the last week of February but of course have to wait for approval from my insurance company. I am excited to read about everyone's journey as well as share my own.
