Good Luck!!!! I know things will work out fine and you'll be on the way to a smaller you in days!

If all goes well with insurance I should be having surgery either late July or early August. I'm excited! I meet with the Nut and Psych on May 6th then start my mandatory classes with the surgeons office on May 11th. It will all be here before we know it!!!! Rhonda

My claim hasn't yet been approved, as I'm still in the beginning stages of this journey, but from what I can gather from both my surgeons office and Accolade (a health assistant group that is provided by my employer) I shouldn't have have any issues as I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes and a severe thyroid issue. I think you'll be fine as long as your BMI didn't go under 35. Rhonda

I too have sever heartburn and take medication daily. My surgeon said that it won't stop me from having surgery, but for a while after it might get worse. Rhonda

Hi! I'm new here as well. I've already had my first visit with my surgeon and will be seeing both the Nut and Psych consult on May 8th. And my first class with the surgeons office on May 11th. I'm super excited to be starting this journey as well. Good luck with your visits Here's to us all getting healthy!! Rhonda
