Hi everyone! I'm Brittany. I am 28 years old and I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I have been considering bariatric surgery for 6 years now but none of my previous insurances would cover it. I recently found out my new insurance may cover it so I went to a seminar with a surgeon today and scheduled a consultation. I am very nervous but excited! I am most worried about the hoops you have to jump through to get the insurance company to cover it. I am so glad that my surgeon's office is willing to do most of the grunt work. The main reason I would like to get surgery is because I have PCOS and my husband and I have been trying to conceive for almost 5 years with no luck. I know that weight loss would help so much and I lost 70lbs 2 years ago with the help of Metformin but I have been stuck ever since. I still have 90 lbs to go and I feel like this could be a great tool to get me the rest of the way. I look forward to talking with you all and hearing your stories!
Update as of August 30th- I got my referral from my doctor and they were able to move my consult up to September 19th! I'm very nervous but excited!
