Im from Chicago and will be getting sleeved at U of C also hopefully by the end of October

Yeah I quit cold turkey on July 4th! Not one Black n Mild since. It hasnt been as hard as I thought even though I get lots of cravings at work when people light up. You can do it because it is definitely all worth it in the long run!

Im soooo anxious all I can do is think of my approval.

I'm in Los Angeles

Same for me. I probably should have done WLS years ago but the malabsorption with bypass made me nervous. So sleeve it is

I'm the same way! I can't wait until my surgery to get my life back

The doctors suggested the bypass for me but I decided on the sleeve because I dont feel comfortable with the whole rerouting of the intestines thing and the doctor complied. Im 5"9 290 and I feel the sleeve will be perfect for me. I will be done with all requirements next month! Cant wait to get approved

Hello everyone I am from Chicago and Cigna is my insurance carrier. I will be on month 3 of my 3 month supervised weight loss program on 8-25. I still have to do a sleep study next month, a second ekg next month and meet with my pcp. After those appointments I will almost be at the approval process and hope to have surgery in early December. Im 5"9 290lbs and want to shed 120lbs of this unwanted weight. I am so excited about surgery and it seems like its all I can think of at this point! Im so glad to read about other people going thru this journey as it seems like im the only one at times. Good luck everybody! Now lets shed these lbs together!!!

I just had a EGD last week and I am required to have another in 8 weeks because the found I had a food allergy. They prescribed me Prilosec and said that should take care of the problem. I still have 1.5 months of the required 3 month dietician so thats no problem. Im so anxious to get this process over with so I can get to the approval process! I also have to do a sleep study next month so September will be an appointment filled month for me. Wish me luck!
