Hi! I just started my journey and I am looking forward to chatting with those of you who are on a similar time-frame as myself. My insurance is Cigna so they require a 3 month supervised diet, psych eval and sign off from my primary (which I am worried about, I haven't seen him in 5 years so what if he wont sign off? should I find someone new? suggestions?)

I am aiming for an early September surgery date, my Dr. said it is doable! I am excited and nervous.

I have learned so much already from reading about everyone else's experience it has really helped to calm me down.

I feel like I am obsessed with this and it's all I can think about. I have probably watched 200 youtube videos so far. LOL

Any tips, tricks or advice is welcome and appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Really enjoying the fb sight!! ☺????????

Tbaby10 great news!!!

My out of pocket was 250.00 and that was to schedule the surgery. I do have to do my endoscopy on the 28th. Cannot wait.

Same here on my deductible being $250 also.

You are not alone, my husband really does not want me to have the surgery, but he knows that he can't stop me. This is my body, I am currently 233 with high blood pressure, pre - diabetic, high cholesterol, and last year was being treated for depression and my bmi is 41.8, he doesn't say anything, he told me that he is going to be there for me during the surgery.

Notforthefaint,

I gave you my home email different then Facebook.....shortlynx@yahoo.com. please send me Facebook invite.

I had my EGD last Thursday and I was nervous because I really have never had anything done under sedation. It was piece of cake. Walked out in 2 hours feeling perfectly normal. Had lunch w my mom right after leaving surgery center. Not even a sore throat.

oh that makes me so hopeful! I really didn't want to miss an entire day of work on Tuesday! I hope my experience is as smooth as that!

Please add me! My surgery is 9/5/15! Cynthiaorn@yahoo.com.. Thanks!

???? does that mean everyone is leaving here. I don't do Facebook???

Hi all! I was scheduled for surgery on August 19 but our insurance changed their coverage requirements from 2 months to 6 months nutritional counseling. Feeling frustrated that I have to wait until September/October...everything happens for a reason, right? I'm so ready!!

moni5855 nope, I am still here, it's just another spot to be supportive.
