Hello to all who have preceded me and all who follow. I'm 49 and have been heavy all my life. I had never heard of the Gastric Sleeve until very recently, it was a like being given the best gift possible. I have insurance but will be losing my job in a few months and can't complete all the hoops I'd have to jump through to have my insurance pick up my tab. My medicine chest is a pharmacy of drugs that I take daily; I won't be able to afford them after my job ends. So, I'm raiding my 401K for the money and paying for it out of pocket. I am traveling to Mexico on March 23rd with surgery on the 24th and a whole new life.

Sorry to hear about your job :-( But, happy to hear about your sleeve :-)

Good luck! Which doctor are you going to? I am seeing Dr Aceves next week.

I am also with Dr. Aceves.

Good luck! Your having your surgery on my birthday!

Congratulations!

I believe a lot of those pills will go bye bye.

Just follow the program religiously, and come here for support and you will be victorious!
