Hello fellow sleeve family. My name is Erin and I am new to this page. I have had my initial consultation with Dr. Wade Barker and am now waiting on my final insurance approval. I am excited not to feel so tired anymore..and so excited to start this journey!! Glad I found this group!

Welcome Erin! I am so excited that you decided to do this for yourself. I am feeling great, have since the surgery, no issues whatsoever. Just have a open mind and strong will and you can make it. This forum is wonderful, it helped me tremendously when I was researching the surgery, right after and even now, I find something out new every time I log in. Keep us posted on your journey and again...welcome to the sleever group!

Hi and welcome , I am excited to get on the losers bench and get some results. I cant wait to not be tired all the time too. I hope ur insurance gets approved quickly. keep us all posted and good luck.

Thanks everyone. I hope my insurance process goes quickly. I actually work for the insurance company processing claims...so hopefully I can keep an eye on it. =)

Welcome Erin

Congratulations on your decision, it wont always be an easy journey but in my experience is worth it.

You will find loads of information and support on this site.

I am 7 months (and 120 pounds gone) and life has never felt so alive. Fatigue is definitely something of the past (well post recovery anyway, recovery fatigue is a whole other thing ). Even when I sleep only a couple of hours a night I can still get through the day and the next and the next ....yes this is something I am well aquainted with at the moment.

Good luck on your journey, feel free to ask any questions.
