Congratulations

Whoot whoot, congratulations to u all of soon to be sleeve in June

Proud of you all, I haven't been sleeve yet im on my 3rd month of my 6 month diet before I can submit my request to my insurance for my sleeve procedure

Thank you very much, did you have to do a 6 month diet as well

I just found out today because I didn't go to the Dr's for a weigh in February, there starting with March, I'm not even going complain cause I could of had to do the entire 6 month's, I didn't even know about the 6 month diet until last week, so I feel blessed and very grateful to have 3 months done, I had labs, I already met with the surgeon, so I have to meet with the dietician once a month June July and August, do a pre op class, my regular Dr wants me to have a consult with her before she gives me a letter, and I have to get a psych evaluation next Friday so it seems to be going pretty fast, I also found out I have to get my iron over 12.1 & it's currently dangerously low at 7.6, thank you for letting me rant lol

Thank you so much, ur so helpful, do you have ur surgery date yet and how soon after you submitted was it approved

Hello everyone, im so anxious and nervous at the same time, ummmm where do I begin, I started this process last year and lost my insurance ???????? now I just got approved for Medicaid in March, I went to my group session last night and got weighed and my bmi is 45.7 , so they told me I am a wls candidate, I filled out my 7 page health forms and releases, they said I will be contacted either Monday or Tuesday, to set up a appt to talk to a physician, can someone please tell me what's next, what will be all the steps, and what type of wieght loss surgeries are paid for by Medicaid in the state of Pennsylvania, I been reading about different ones im interested in the vsg if possible, I was also told I would have to loose so much wieght within a 6 month time frame, which I didn't know this and I just recently lost 35 pounds on my own and now at a stall, so any info or anything you can share with me, would truly be appreciated, thank you everyone

Hello I'm in PA too, could you tell me what type of insurance you have and did you have to wait 6 month's
