Hi everyone!

Just wanted to introduce myself, as I am new to the site.

I'm just beginning my journey to getting sleeved (hopefully) on August 19th of this year by Dr. Marc Zare in Mountain View, CA.

I have Anthem Blue Cross PPO of CA, and luckily, they cover 90% of the surgery with no 6-month documented weight loss attempt required. I've met with Dr. Zare once and have scheduled my psychological evaluation for tomorrow, and I'm meeting with a dietician next Friday. After that, Dr. Zare will submit to my insurance, but he's confident that I'm a great candidate!

I had been considering the sleeve for years, and now at my highest weight ever (302 lbs) I'm finally ready to take the plunge, and I'm very excited.

I look forward to chatting with all of you and benefitting from your amazing stories and shared knowledge!

Have a great day!

Stacey
