New guy here

Hello everyone,

This is my first post here. I am a 25 year old guy in the Fort Worth, TX area. I had my first consult with my surgeon today. I made sure and had all of my medical records before hand. They said I should know within a couple of weeks whether I am approved or not. My insurance co. requires 5 years of records with a BMI over 40. I only have records for 3 of the past 5 years...So I am kind of nervous about that. We'll see what happens. I appreciate everyone sharing their journeys online and I look forward to telling my story as well...

Hi Deadoc. Welcome to LBT! Have you checked out the guy's forum? It's called The Men's Room.

Best wishes...I think waiting on insurance is the most nerve-wracking part of the whole process!
