Hi, I have been lurking for a while and just decided to introduce myself... I am 26 and am at the very beginning of the process, waiting patiently( or not so patiently) for a seminar so I can get the ball rolling... I wish it was sooner, I am already excited and nothing has even happened yet! I am hoping to soon be the proud owner of a brand new sleeve!

Just went to my seminar with dr o'malley last night! And this morning I called and scheduled all of my initial appts. It seems like I definitely picked a wonderful and comprehensive program! And I am do excited that things are signally moving along !! I am still not sure what is going to happen with my insurance and I probably won't have a surg date until the fall but we shall see what happens ... First NUT seminar is on 6/13 and it really begins!! So anxious and excited!!

Seeee! Told you it goes fast! I just need to get my psych evaluation and then I'll

meet with the dr! I have my second NUT appointment 6/5. Yes continue to be anxious and excited. I look forward to my new lifestyle! Ready to do things I've always imagined. -. Good luck! ONEderland here we come! *_*

Just went to my first NUT seminar yesterday morning an I have to admit it was a little overwhelming! But I am so glad to get things moving and have something to focus on other than just sitting here and waiting ! Next step is my history and physical appt on 7/9, but at least my initial weight has already been recorded so the process has really begun!! Yay!!!

Hi, I am well, just a little impatient still. I have completed my history and physical appointment and my first one on one with the NUT. And I also got my abdominal ultrasound and completed my psych eval. For some reason the psych wants to check up on me one more time but I think I passed! Lol! I have my sleep study scheduled but it isn't until next month, so thing are moving along... I have at least 2 more nut visits so I will not be getting a surgery date until late September at the earliest. Hopefully I can meet the 5% weight loss requirement... I am working on it.

That did not want to be edited!! It got sent before I was ready but things are finally moving along! I am a little nervous about the sleep study and meeting my 5% weight loss requirement, I have lost a little over 5 lbs so far so hopefully I can keep it going!

Good luck!! Definitely keep me posted! I can't wait until we are both on the losers bench!!

Hi, just a quick update! I finally saw dr omalley yesterday for my consult and they are submitting to my insurance next week!!!! I am thrilled but also felt my anxiety kick in once I had to read and sign all those liability forms making sure you know all about every possible complication. I guess things just got very real for me. I have MVP which of course is the last insurance in the Rochester ny area that does not cover the sleeve!! Even Medicare covers it now, this is just crazy, so hopefully they can be persuaded!!! I am now very nervous and all that's left to do right now is wait.
