Hi everyone, I'm in the Asheville area. 28 f not sure if I mentioned that already. I'm probably looking at November or December to have my surgery because my insurance requires several appointments prior, have to have a sleep study and several other tests before hand. I'm so glad u all reached out, it's so encouraging to know we are all on this journey and have this wonderful support system!

I am 48 years old and in Chapel Hill, have done psych eval and have surgeon appt and other tests on July 14. No insurance waiting period for me, hoping for an August date.

Which centers are you all using, and who is your surgeon?

I am going through Duke, with Dr. Yoo.

I live in rocky mount!!! I'm going thru Nash and Dr Mann will be my Dr.. I'm still early in the process... Next week is my psychological appt then the 20TH is my second nurtrional appt then august 11 is my cardiac appt.. Then I'll finally get an appt with the surgeon.. At that point we will see what he says and submit.. Right now I'm a few pounds under 40 bmi.. And I don't have any comorbities that bcbs wants to recognize.. I am on Bp meds but not the highest dose.. I do have chronic pain and last year had to get my knees replaced at 44 yrs old due to horrible osteoarthritis.. So we will see what happens.. I'm believing that I've had this on my heart so long and finally pursued it.. I'm praying I make it to the end
