Hi everyone! My name's Jennifer. I am fairly new to the VSG site and just joined this group. I am excited to find a Christian group - God's strength is what's going to be getting me through this, I feel.

I am pre-op and just waiting on insurance approval. I called the company on Monday and they said that it was in the final stage of approval, so I'm hoping that I hear something today. I'm thanking God for my approval because I KNOW it's coming!

Thank you for this group!

God bless you all!

Hi Jennifer...

I am new to the group as well... Not sure yet how to talk with everyone would but would love to get in a chat with everyone here and hear their stories...

I am had lap band in Feb 2010 and awaiting Ins. approval for conversion to sleeve. I have a lot of questions and would love to have some imput...

Hello Sleevers!

I am scheduled for my sleeve on August 21, in Los Angeles, CA. It's been a very long wait, however I am thanking God that I can now see the finish line to this chapter of my book. Although I see this chapter closing I am anxiously awaiting what else God has in store for me. I feel like one of those lapband commercials "let your new life begin." See I have always been plump, not sloppy but plump, some may call it "big boned" but call it what you want, I WILL NO LONGER be defined by it! I intend to let my new life begin!

Be Blessed!!!!
