I just started my trek to a new life. I've been to two seminars and I've submitted paperwork for the surgeon to decide on a consultation. I think the toughest part is the time factor. I don't think the weight will get me, it's the WAIT that gets me!

Re: A newbie from the land of OZ
You may want to research other options ,I ave insurance and they refused to do anything with bariatric surgery so I started to research alternatives and went with a company called BeLiteWeight they are great I did self pay had my sleeve 7/28 and it was done in Mexico and I did not have to jump through hoops I followed Dr.'s instructions and feeling pretty good. Good Luck and welcome to the journey!

Re: A newbie from the land of OZ
I had my surgery in Kansas at the Bariatric Center, it is a place of excellence, don't know if you are close to that one. If you have any questions just ask.

I have to wait a minimum and I am almost finished with my first month so I feel your pain about the wait.
