Hello and I am a college student who is looking to start working overseas in China or South Korea. I have been wanting to get gastric sleeve for about a year, and I have medical assistance that allows for me to have bariatric surgery. However I want to start working early 2017 and I want to do the surgery now but my insurance guidelines is for me to have weight loss program or nutrition counseling 6 months before the surgery. Is there a way where I can file an appeal to my insurance company and show proof that I will work next year abroad so can expedite the process for gastric sleeve surgery.

Thank you so much for your input.

Feel free to post anything.

Hello, I am eager to get started with the gastric sleeve. I have done my research about the risks, pros, cons, guidelines with starting the surgery. I am discombulated with the steps.

What should I do first to get started.

I have heard that people were able to get around it as long as they were under recommendation by their doctors that one is healthy for military service.Mainly in the Air Force,since I am going for military nursing, figure they would be more lenient cause you are not in bootcamp like an enlisted and most people in direct commission are older.

I am interested in joining the military and become a military nurse. I am currently a nursing student. I want to do the gastric sleeve for reasons other then joining the military. As a nursing student I will probably look at military around 2018. By that time I should have my license and BSN. I am leaning more towards the Air Force but is it possible for one to waive it and direct commission into the Nurse Corps.

Anybody gone through this experience or know anyone who has been through this. I would appreciate you sharing this.
