    Hi - I'm a newbie too and have similar concerns but with high bp and cholesterol and rheumatoid arthritis (i'm 42) the health risks are much greater if I take no action. So like you I'm looking into the risks such as clots etc. Do you have a date yet? I found once I had the date (April 21st) I wasn't thinking about backing out and that it became / is becoming real. I guess the more research we can do the better armed we'll be. Best of Luck x

    No no date yet just the date for when I see the surgeon it makes me so anxious !! But congrats on your date I get scared I'm going to back I don't wanna die lol but seriously

    I have my first appt Monday I've looked high and low to see what my insurance required and can't find it even recieved a bariatric benefits chart and it doesn't say. So hoping to get news like u at my appt. but with that being said I'm told about 3-4 months depending on how quickly u get thru classes and such that your bariatric sugeron requires (not insurance)

    Hello every one I'm 26 lesbian haven't yet got a surgery date but I am schedule for the 22nd of March to meet with my surgeon so hopefully it will go pretty quickly from there .. Lookin for people to chat with that have advice about this process and maybe a surgery buddy

    My biggest fears are blood clots or the surgery just simply not working

    I want to lose 100lbs in total

    I feel the same exact way as you ! In scared it won't work because I have tried diets in the past and I have felt they have gotten me no where . I haven't gotten a surgery date yet but I meet with my surgeon on the 22nd of this month. But it's just crazy how I think the same way like what if this doesn't work at all for me . Please keep us posted I will definitely be tuned in lol and good luck on your journey

    yes I have Health Net Blue and Gold; I know they had me throughmy Network complete a 6 month waiting period with some Nutrician classes involved. I am now ending my journey and have completed most all requirements. Now waiting to meet surgeon for consultation; end of April. I'm thinking surgery will be in Late May or early June.

    Congrats !! I'm not sure if mine is the same I do know it's Health Net the woman that called me today to say I was all approved and I meet with the surgeon on the 22nd maybe then they will tell me if I have the 6 month wait or what guidelines I need to pass

    I'm just starting this journey my consultation with the surgeon is March 22nd . I worry a lot about complications and things that could go wrong in surgery more than anything .. Anyone else worry about this .. I also worry about how long the whole process will take and if I'm going to back out
