    Talking After a years' worth of debate, I think I'm gonna

    Hey all. I've been creeping on the forum for a long time reading about what everyone had to say. I think I've settled on the sleeve and am beginning my journey now that I have insurance. All you lovely random informed strangers are finding out before ANYONE in my family, including my husband. I just really appreciate the amount of info and support I've seen here.

    That is awesome. Did you double check that your insurance covers gastric surgery? Not all insurance does. I can tell you that some people don't realize it right away. There are a lot of good surgical offices out there that will pre check for you. Mine did. At any rate, my best advice is to find out exactly what your insurance requires for approval and ensure that the surgeon's office follows it to the letter to prevent getting a denial. So happy for you. Good luck and welcome!

    So you have a surgery date ? Congrats !!..... That's what I want . I just wanna a date or even a month to shoot for. My son is getting married July 5th in Flordia and I so wanted to be over the initial surgery way before then. But if you have a May date I maybe looking to have to wait post wedding .
