Started my journey in March

I've been trying to lose weight for years now. I've joined gyms, weight watchers and done all kinds of fad diets. My job is very physical and my weight is to much for my knees. When I lose, I gain right back. I'm 40 so I know my metabolism is slower. I started doing my research and went to a seminar referred by my cousin. I wanted the lap band at first but after the seminar I decided the sleeve. That was on March 16. The following week I met with the Dr. My bmi was only at 39. With my insurance it requires 40 without commodities. With one visit to the Psychiatrist. That's it. So I went back on April 29. Got a call on April 30 to go see a psychiatrist and once they get word from them they'll submit to my insurance. The insurance biller also said Anthem BCBS is the easiest and that I'll be approved and probably sleeved by mid June.
