Hi all-

I'm 26, living in VA , and currently waiting on approval from my insurance company. I called my surgeons office today and the nurse told me they sent my paperwork in for approval last Friday. My mother had RNY Gastric Bypass surgery a couple years ago and she's doing well. I've been thinking about it for the past year but never really pursued it. A couple months ago I had a conversation with a coworker who had lap band surgery last year and she suggested I check out her doctors office. And here I am. I'm nervous and anxious. I look forward to chatting with you all!

Good luck on your journey and I hope you hear a quick approval soon! I can't wait to be where you are, lady. I am glad you joined the board. If you EVER have ANY questions don't be afraid to ask, there are so many helpful people here ready and able to help.

Welcome!

Hi Wishes!

Thank you for the warm welcome. This board is a great resource and I'm looking forward to chatting with you all in the future. I see you're almost there!

I was approved today. I'm still stunned. It didn't take long at all, four days total.

Lol, when they are quick they are quick. CONGRATULATIONS! Next step a date! I am so happy for you. Keep me posted on what it is like on the other side.

Welcome to the board and congratulations on your approval. I am so happy for you and all that you will be able to accomplish with the sleeve.
