I'm wanting the sleeve! Check my profile out and let me know how this thing works!

Hmmmm, what profile?

My suggestion would be to first check your local Bariatric Surgeons and see if they have any seminars on Weight loss surgery.

Then.......go to one!

I'm not trying to be a smart alec. That really should be your first start. Along with providing info on the various surgeries, they will typically use a coordinator that can inform you of the requirements to qualify and they will check into any insurance coverage you might have for the surgery.

So, as I said above...... Find one and go to it.

I am also new to this. I looked at your profile and you haven't entered any info about your self.

I'm try to understand this app! Ahh ! I tried writing my bio in but it was to long so I wrote it in my surgery tab in my story.... Hopefully you guys can view that. Lmk

Can you only see in the full website version?

Try a computer to put your stats in Mandy. Many people qualify with insurance, many do not. Many go to Mexico, many do not. If you have co morbidities, your insurance might pay. A lot depends on your BMI and co-morbidities. You will find all your answers her but be specific. We love to help. Linda
