I am currently looking for a Dr to start the process of getting the sleeve. Need to know what I need to do and what to expect. HELP IN CARTERSVILLE GA. PLEASE MESSEGE ME OR REPLY. DONT REALLY KNOW HOW THIS FORUM WORKS.

I would start with your insurance and see what they will cover and if you have a ppo you will have to go to see who is on their list. I had to go to A center of excellence in bariatric surgery. My insurance didn't require a referral but some do so you may have to start with your family doctor.

If you discover that your insurance does not cover or you don't qualify through your insurance there are still options for you. I am having mine done in Mexico for 4500.. includes everything except airfare. Visit the mexico/self pay subforum to read experiences from those who have taken this route.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
