Just got my approval!

Hello all,

My name is Jim. I am a 38 year old male about 515lbs, struggling with weight my whole life. I was just approved for Sleeve surgery through BCBS of NC. I cannot be more happy. Nervous, but more anxious. I look forward to going down this journey with you all. Having my surgery at York Hospital in York, PA since that is where I live. Scheduled for 12/21.

Thanks!

Jim
