    Yes, they put you to sleep. It's a lighter anesthetic though. At first I hated the idea of the 6 months, but now that they are passed (and it went by fast)- I am glad for them. It not only helped me plan and understand further, but I also got to know the PA Sarah better and loved her.

    @@LadyWarren That's great. It was quite the process but I am excited to have the surgery. I had to complete 6 months of nutrition visits, psy eval, sleep study, cardio work up, and upper GI scope. I will keep you posted. Dr. Bruce is very upfront and tells you like it is, which I appreciate.

    I am in Raleigh area. I am going through Bariatric Specialists of NC- Dr. Bruce. I started my journey in June and am approved through Highmark BCBS and waiting my final pre-op visit to schedule. I am hopeful to get it done before the end of December. I will be having it done at Rex.

    Approved!

    I got my approval last week as well. I am hoping to schedule by the end of December. I have my final appointment with the surgeon next week and that is when I get my surgery date. I hope all goes well for you.
