Hi all! I'm excited to join the VSG forum! I've been reading posts on here as a guest for the past couple weeks and am so thankful to have so many people share their experiences with their sleeve. It has reassured me I'm making the right decision and your stories have inspired me!

I'm hoping to learn as much as possible before having the sleeve done myself. I'm at the end of jumping through the insurance hoops and my paper work should be sent in next week and then the waiting game will begin. Hope it doesn't take to long to hear back from my insurance. I'm eager to get a date set!

Welcome...I have learned so much from this site. I feel very well prepared for my sleeve on the 6th. Good luck to you as you wait for your date.

Welcome ! I just had my sleeve 5 days ago and the insurance jump hoop game is so fresh in my mind. I will never forget the feeling when I fulfilled last requirement, once I had that clearance in my hand I felt like a I won a million bucks!

I don't know how it feels to jump through all of those hoops bc I was self pay... But I'd do it all over again in a flash! I'm loving my life post sleeve .. I will be exactly 2 months out on wednesday!!!

Welcome to the board. My surgery is a week from tomorrow. I don't think I would have opted to go through with the surgery without reading all the posts on here. Yes, it will definately be a struggle at first, but so many people are so happy that they had this surgery. That is what I am looking forward to--feeling good and being glad I did this.
