So I just joined up on verticalsleevetalk.com yesterday and already im a fan . Lots of information on here and supportive people. So my journey begins, and from what I can tell, its going to be one heck of a journey. Im excited to feel NORMAL about myself in the near future. Theres so much I want to do that I mentally think I "cant" do now because of my weight. I hope so many doors will be opened because of this. I wont lie- I am nervous, but excited all the same.

Congratulations! :banane58:

Congrats on getting the approval letter!! And, welcome to VST! It's great for support and answers to all those questions we never think to ask our doctor!

congrats on your approval and the chance at a new life! how long after submitting to insurance did you receive approval?

Yeah! You are well on your way. How exciting! Congratulations and welcome!

Welcome!! I'm so anxious about getting approval for my surgery. I get to start the process on Jan 1, once I officially switch to the insurance company that will cover it!
