Hi, my name is Ciara i am thinking abut getting the sleeve. Live in Indiana I recieve medicaid but am thinking of finding another source of insurance. i need the sleeve because I am overweight and a mother of five who has tried everything to loose weight. i recently joined curves and though I have been eating right and exercising and even eel great about myself i also have gained weight and am sore and hungry all the time for exercising and restrictive diets. i have spent thousands of dollars on gimmicks and programs, i have just come to the conclusion that I need surgical intervention. i know i have a long road ahead of me but at least there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Welcome Ciara! I can honestly say getting the sleeve has been one of the best decisions I have made. I am 20 lbs from goal in 7 1/2 months and feel fantastic! Best wishes for a speedy approval!

Medicaid (in most states) does approve the sleeve as "medically necessary"... and you will be covered 100%... so don't think you need to look for something else; your pcp needs to present it properly...that's the key

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
