Hi saygrace my name is Audrey I’m 27 years old. I’m actually finished with all my appointments just waiting on my insurance approval now. It’s a scary long process but it’s so worth it. I actually got to work on the weight loss floor at my job and it’s amazing how some people are up walking straight after surgery. Maybe we can be buddies share each other’s journey

I’m hoping for sometime in April. It’s really just about how fast my insurance approve me

how exciting!!!

I just started the process myself with my older sister and we’re eager and excited to get it done. However, the surgeon we have is saying that we have to do 6 months worth of documentation before submitting to insurance [emoji53] is it the same everywhere? I’m glad you’re so close to getting yours!

I guess it’s not? But I’m also unsure because I do see my primary care every 5 weeks for weight/medication management so maybe I already have that part of the process covered? Ive heard it’s mixed, some people have to go through that whole process and others don’t. congrats to you and your sister btw!!

I’m hoping for an August or September surgery date [emoji51] I’ll be done with all of my preops in June and hopefully see the surgeon in July. I’m 27 and so ready to lose this weight. I don’t want to yoyo diet anymore. [emoji1439]‍♀️

Same here with the yo-yo diets. Such a struggle, this will definitely help keep me in line. I’ve lost before about 30 lbs gained it all back and some [emoji79] my HW is 280 my CW 277 ( I’ve lost 3 lbs since consultation when they told me to eliminate sodas and sugary drinks) increased protein and added an additional 10 mins of walking.
Who’s your doctor? Btw, I’m 36 and been struggling with for a very long time.

I had to do 6 months of weight loss appointments it was stressful

I’m hoping for a date the end of April so I can at least enjoy spring break with my children. I’m 27 years old and I’ve been up and down with my weight my whole life and I’m over it. I just want to have a healthy life for not only myself but my children also. So now I’m just playing the waiting game with my insurance company

Just set up my psych consult yay
