Hi all I started my journey last month. My insurance requires 6 months but I have started the pre-op testing and have seen the nutritionist. I'm 5'2 and 234 lbs. Starting weight 242. I have long journey ahead but I'm excited too and happy to start my new healthy life.

I'm 5'2 and still have a few months to go till my surgery is scheduled I just started.

Hi All, I'm at the beginning of my journey as well. I went to my first consult on November 19th and have chose the vertical sleeve. I have started getting the required test needed such as blood work and x-ray. Since I was already seeing a psychologist she is giving me the clearance for surgery. I have been seeing a cardiologist for some time so I will be requesting the clearance from her as well and getting my EKG. I saw the nutritionist once already and my next appointment is this month. I have 5 months to go until the doctor can submit the paperwork to the insurance for approval. I am very excited to have begun this journey, I have already started making lifestyle changes with my choice of foods I eat and the quantities and also walking more. Hopefully by the time I actually have the surgery I will be used to eating healthier. I am 5'2 the day of my 1st consult I was 242 lbs and today I weight 234 lbs. my ultimate goal is to weight 125lbs I'm confident that with my commitment and support from family, friends and online support groups I will reach my goals and live a healthy, happy and energetic lifestyle. Together we can do it!
