Anyone having gastric sleeve december 2014?

My story

I am 26 from Toledo ohio and I have chosen to have the gastric sleeve because I know it will change my life. I went to my first consult with mercy weight management in sept 2014 I was told paramount advantage(medicaid) would cover with 6 month diet. I had four month diet with my primary care provider so I only had to do 2 months with them. I was approved on 11/13/14 and that has been the best news of my life. I went for my EGD yesterday and I have a hernia. I go to my pre op appointment with my suregon matthrew fourman in a few days and I will ask him his plans for the hernia. In addition, I have my precsription processing through ensure nutrition for Proteins shakes, scar cream, and as and added bonsus I was told I would get free vititmins. Two days ago I bought a month supply of vitimins from vitimin shoppe for 39.00 they are bariatric so I will use them for now until I find out what I can get my insurance to pay for. I started this thread so us december sleevers could track our progess, modivate, and offer advice to one another. Good luck to all!
