I just left my consult with my surgeon and wow I feel great. I feel so full of hope. He doesn’t think my insurance will mandate a 6 month supervised diet, and since I am a law student he is on board with me hopefully getting it over winter break. Next step is to wait for the insurance coordinator to get an explanation of benefits and then she will call me and we can start scheduling appointments.

I am so hopefully and excited. I will be getting the sleeve and I am ready for this positive life change.

Keeping my fingers crossed for you, hopefully, you get the approval before the end of the year. I can tell you that even if the insurance does not cover you find a way to beg, borrow, or well you don't want that on your record but you get the idea. Like your future degree, it will impact your life for the good. I found I have more energy my short-term memory is back and that I have so much energy, did I mention the energy part.

Here is a saying for your future profession, that might put it into perspective.

My lawyer once told me that I can pay him now or pay him later and usually later is much more expensive.

I waited until my late 40's to have surgery and I can tell you my weight has taken so much from me and my family, I should have paid the piper 20 years ago because the cost of waiting this long has been astronomical.

Good Luck
