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!

Hoping for sept 7th band to sleeve. Excited to get this going. I miss the old me

congrats on starting your journey!!

Date set for September 2nd, pretty excited/scared. Excited to start a new chapter in my life, scared of surgery.

Deep breaths! you can do it!

Congratulations! It begins!!!!

It is so awesome to see another round of September Sleevers getting ready!

Just wait!!

It is going to be GREAT!

Hello All, I have Aetna insurance and just finish my last weight check appointment on Friday August 5th. I am currently just waiting for my insurances approval for the surgery. I am hoping for a surgery date of 09/19-09/21, but will just be thankful for anything close or after that date. I am very excited and it feels like these days have definitely SLOWED down.

Best of luck to you ALL!

trust me it seems to slow down and then it goes REALLY fast!! hahaha

I wish you the best of luck on your journey!
