I've completed everything required. I wanted to be sleeved before the year was over but hoping it will be done in January. Hopefully, I will be approved and receive a date before the year ends.

Omgness, I'm following this thread hoping to see Shay get the call that changes her life and I'm waiting patiently for your update lady...fingers crossed for u!!!

Thank you so much! I'm trying to stay as calm as possible

I'm sure perseverance will win out, Shay...and it will all be worth it in the end!!

Wishing you the best...and SOON!!

I received a voicemail today from Bariatric center and the lady stated they reviewed my medical policy and they see the surgery is covered so the will proceed with submitting my paperwork to the insurance company

Great!! This IS good news, ShayLove!! Now HOPEFULLY and PRAYERFULLY you'll get your approval news and be on your way, like you should have been quite some time ago!! Very happy for you, Shay!!!

It's been two days for me also. Everyone been telling me I'm not big but maybe I carry it well. I'm 276 and only 5'6, I think that's pretty big knowing in only pounds away from 300. I've been told not to do it by many but this is what I want.

I'm completely with you. I'm 275 and 5'7". People tell me everyday that i dont need it because im skinny. who are you looking at? I also want it for health reasons. Having PCOS and being pre diabetic isn't healthy for anyone.
