I started the process to get the gastric sleeve last week, the doctors office is hoping that I will be able to use my previous weight watchers as a means of the 6 month diet. The insurance company does take weight watchers it's just a matter of if they would allow the past few months or if they want me to start off from this point on. Regardless, I have my psych eval on Thursday and my nutrition eval next Thursday. They even scheduled me for a "tentative" surgery date to be November 10th.

Due to personal reasons I'm not really telling anyone what I am doing except my fiance, my aunt, and a very good friend of mine. So because of my decision to not tell anyone just yet I feel like I need a buddy to help me through all of this. My fiance is no help because well he's NEVER had a weight problem in fact most of his life he was considered under weight for his height.

Hopefully there is someone out there who wants a new friend!

Welcome mmurray! I am pre-op also. Started my journey July 1, 2014. Have a couple of things outstanding but hoping for an October sleeve. You will find lots of supportive friends here!
