Hi everybody,

My name is Cali and I'm from Kansas. I'm 23/f and am a full time nursing student. I had my consult today and my surgery is set for December 22nd :thumbdown: I am extremely excited but scared about all the changes. Like I am sure some of you, I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. Because I dont have diabetes or hypertension my insurance wont pay for the surgery, BUT I finally have the money to pay for it

I love meeting new people and would really like to talk to any of you about life, the procedure and just about anything else so hit me up already!

Have a blessed day!

Cali :rolleyes2:

hi cali, my name is deven and i am from california. my first meeting with the surgeon was last week and he told me i am looking at a surgery date about end of december/january. i qualified through my insurance and am so excited/nervous/estatic....i figured it might be nice to reach out to someone since we are going through this around the same time and i could really use someone who understands what i am going through :rolleyes2:

my email is devenann@ucla.edu if you want to get in touch :thumbdown:

Hey Deven,

I am so glad that you replied! I would love to talk! I would really enjoy having someone to go through this with!

Hi Cali!

I'm also a nursing student but graduating on Dec 19 :smile2:

My ideal time to have the surgery is in December so I can have enough time to heal and start a job.

But I'm most likely going to be in January.

How many more semesters do you have? And what clinical rotation are you in for next semester?

Hey Cali! Good Luck with your surgery! I'm so excited for you! I am attending the seminar tomorrow! I have aetna so they will cover up to 90% but I don't know how long it will take to get approved! please keep me updated on your success! We are about the same age so I can't wait to see how well you do!

Hey Jennie,

Congrats on graduating!!! I wish you all the luck on your upcoming surgery whenever that may be. Mine is 2 weeks from tomorrow... I cant believe it! I also cant wait!!!

I have two more semesters, I will finish in May :-) . I am just finishing up my peds roation now. I have enjoyed it but have decided that sick kids aren't for me... Do you have a specialty figured out yet?

Take care,
