26 Year Old - East Meadow, NY

My goal is to be out of the stage where I'm at high risk for certain diseases on Thursday 9/19/14 I will go in for my consultation I have chosen to do the gastric sleeve or the vertical sleeve how ever it's known I am very scared and also very excited I have been over weight my entire life and have tried just about everything my mother and father and older sisters are all diabetics and that puts me at a high risk for it heart problems run in my family I hope my insurances covers most of the price I'm ready to take this big step to helping me last longer

Thank you everyone for the well wishes on my new journey I went today to my appointment and ran into others who already had the procedure it was nice speaking with them and seeing pictures as well as visually seeing the results I met the surgeon and he asked me a couple questions relating to my health and also why I have chosen to take this step they checked my height blood pressure and weight. ran my insurance and spoke with me briefly on what other appointments I needed to go to overall it wasn't long or scray such nice people and very straight to the point something I like!! I meet with the nutritionist on the 3rd of October I'm schedule to go to a support group on the 22nd of this month they told me hopefully if I go to each appointment as followed I should be getting the surgery done by November

On Monday 9/22/14 I went to my very 1st support group I must honestly say at 1st I was very hesitant and really didn't want to attend but it was great I really got a good idea of what is in store for me and also got to meet with others who are going threw it or been threw it and it was very comforting tonight 9/24/14 is my sleep study so here I go
