I am in the process for a sleeve. I would love to have a new sleever to mentor me through the process.

Thanks,

Jane

How far through the process are you?

I have met with the psychologist, the nutritionist and the surgeon. I am having an upper gi next week. That will be the end of the medical tests needed.

I have started to write down everything I eat. My biggest challenge right now is the exercise. It is a matter of getting my butt out the door!

How about you, where are you at?

I'm almost a year out from my surgery and I'm 125 pounds down.

Good for you! My BMI is borderline but I have medical issues so hopefully the insurance compay will accept surgery.

How long did the whole precess take you?

I originally went through the process for the lap band in 2011 but the surgeon I was going to wouldn't do the surgery cause I didn't have any sucess with losing weight so I stopped and then my surgeon for the sleeve surgery, his office called me in November of 2012 and since i did everything to qualify me for the surgery in 2011 I was able to get it in January of 2013. So it was like a 3 year thing for me but it is inly suppose to take 6 months to get insurance to approve it

Hi looking for people around me for support
