I think it's awesome that you're so willing to share your journey, and I would love to have a "veteran" to talk through during my process! I'm sending you an email now just so you have my contact info! Thank you thank you thank you!

WOW!!!!!! You look incredible!!!!! That is so motivating!!! And to know that you only take vitamins now, instead of your other medicine- AMAZING!

I feel lucky with my insurance too- only 3 months supervised diet (ended up being 5 sessions), psych eval, and EKG- 100% covered. The only thing I'm super anxious about is the time immediately after the procedure. I don't have a high pain tolerance and I don't do well with anesthesia - BUT it'll totally be worth it! My stats- 240 lbs, 5'6" hoping to be about 140 in 18 months ?

I had to go through 5- last one the first week in September! Who's your dietician? I am seeing Suzanne- she's amazing! Good luck!

Congratulations on such progress for 5 months! That's incredible!!! I didn't know they didn't give you pain meds once you leave- that's good to know! I'm getting so excited!!!!

Hi all! I know this is an old thread, but I am having my sleeve done by Dr Fitzer in Reston, VA on September 18!
