lUv, LovE, L_O_V_E BEANS!!

You are going to do so well after surgery. with all of the postings I have read on this website all experienced positive results by being freed to their diabetes and bp prescription routines. ...

Keep going and never look back! Your future will be bright!

Hey! I am the same day!! My pre-op meeting is on the 22nd.
looking forward to hearing from you, best...

Before joining this website, I research a lot as I had never ever heard of the sleeve. What I did find out from another website was it takes the majority of individuals as long as 2 years to reach...

It's a private journey for me for now. I do not plan to tell anyone and like Harley Granny, if I need to 'fess up' down the road, I will. I was and never in the past have ever been supported by my...

I am soooo very jealous!!! LOL :)

at least the hard part is over! looking forward to part 2!

I have told no one, zip zero nada. It's just between me and my surgeon and will stay that way unless I decide otherwise. It is for that reason I did not share as I am surrounded by nay sayers,...

Sounds as if you and I are on the same path. I just completed all of my preop and my insurance will not cover the procedure as I am considered too healthy with a BMI of 36.6. SO i kept my surgery...

Yes, it happened to me! I did everything I needed to do and was not approved. Now I will be self pay. I spoke to my surgeon's office on Thursday last week when I got the news and I asked if they...

Loved hearing about your trip, I live a few hours drive from Mexico and would take a 'mental health day' from work during the week to go on private shopping trips to avoid the weekend crowds! btw......

I have read recently here on this site where some members have gone to Mexico as you will and ended up walking the streets shopping the following day to get their walks in. I read that the hospital...

There are few posters here from the UK, Owl77 is one I have befriended. As you cruise around this site, you will find more of them from your part of the world!

Hi, I am 56 also and my insurance would not cover as my BMI was only 36 so I will be a self pay. since having a total hysterectomy 7 years ago, I have gained 10-20 lbs a year even tho I diet and...

where is this doctor located?

I can totally relate, since joining this sight in early may and meeting my surgeon and his team, i have at least 2-3 nights a week where I am filled with excitement and have trouble sleeping. each...

I asked my surgeon about that and he said the stomach heals right over the staples and performs normally as if they were not there.

Yeah! I wish I was there but getting close myself! hurry back and check in! have a safe trip!

My journey will be private and only between me and the members of this site and my surgeon and his team. I have tried twice to tell my dieting buddy and close friend of 30 years of my decision but...

A friend and I had the wonderful opportunity to spend Christmas to New Years in Essex County in a small farm which was the most amazing experience for us. We really never ever got over the fact the...

i have heard of it and my doctor performs it as well. It is also done now in Mexico. The bad news is it's such a new procedure that insurance will not cover it which seems odd since its less...

for me, its a month or so. I was able to schedule my surgery on the day of my initial consultation which was May 29th. simple as that. others not so simple. enjoy your journey!

Happy as a clam here! Best to you next week!

I have never in my life been supported by my family, EVER! I shared with my best buddy who is also my dieting buddy that I was considering weight loss surgery and she flipped out on me. "IT WILL...
