[newmeinfla 92]

Good morning, I have been reading everyone amazing journey and congrats to all and the amazing success.

I just tuned 50 female and i am 5'3" weight 215 BMI 38 pushing 39, I have hypothyroidism ( thats when my weight went out of control), high blood pressure and High cholesterol.

I started my journey last month met with Dr he said I was a good candidate for gastric sleeve using robotic surgery. Dr. has me doing the following, 3 visit to Nutritionist, one psych evaluation, upper gi, blood work, get clearance from Cardiologist and general Dr. I have already had one visit to the nutritionist and she place me on a diet with no sugar or carb.

My insurance is UHC and when my Dr office called they just told the standard no define months on supervised diet so we are going with 3 months and try. I have a deductable so pretty much I am paying all.out of pocket. ( will be disappointed if I go thru all this and not get approved)

I have great support from my husband and sisters. But looking for support that are and have gone thru this process.

Thank you, I will have questions and more question as I start my journey.
