Hi, I am new here. I have decided this would be the best choice for me and I am here to learn as much as I can. My husband is trying to have the same surgery. We are in just the beginning stages. We feel our insurance will cover this for us and we attended a seminar with the surgical team that we feel we will go with. I have read through so many posts in the forum and I have learned so much already. Robin

welcome to the forum Good luck and please keep us posted on how you and your hubby are doing

Welcome and best of luck on getting approved.

Welcome! I am sorta new too and just had my first consult last week. It's exciting isn't it?

Welcome Robin and hubby. So glad you found us. This forum is a great place for research,support and sometimes just needing a place to vent.

I'm just about 4 weeks post op. and I can tell you this is one of the best decisions I've ever made. I feel blessed, truly blessed to have my sleeve.

I hope you and your husband are able to get approved and have your surgery soon. I believe you will not regret it.

Please keep us posted as your journey progresses. Best of luck.

Thanks....we did hear from our insurance broker and she said WLS is a covered benefit. Now we just need to find out if Vertical Sleeve is covered and what requirements are needed. Keeping fingers crossed.....Robin

Welcome! I'm in the same boat, I've been thru the seminar and inital appt with the surgeon. I have the appts with my PCP, Dietition & Psych eval all set up for the next 2 weeks. I'm so nervous and anxious. I want this so bad if my ins doesn't approve it I'm going to be devistated. Good luck and keep us posted of your journey!
