WORTH IT$1,000
I have my consult and informational seminar on sep 17. I weigh 217 lbs and am only five feet tall. I have been about ten-fifteen lbs overweight since I was a teenager but the past 7 years I have been continuing to gain weight at an alarming rate. I want children but I know it isn't healthy having a bmi of 42.

I have my informational seminar and appointment with the surgeon tomorrow. I am excited to get the process started! It sucks that I have to wait 6 months before my insurance will approve it which means I need 6 months of weigh ins which sep 25 will be my third. Seems excessive! Anyone else have to jump hoops to get this covered? Anyway to get around it? Lol i just wanna get this done with, or at least get it going and on the books! I am excited to hear what the Dr. has to say. The seminar is from 8-9:30 then my appt with the Dr. is at ten and they said it could take up to three hours!! Not sure why or what exactly will go on. I work overnight so the timing is not the best as that is my usual sleeping time. Oh well!! I am excited to hear what things I will have to do like, lose weight before hand, do a special diet, etc.

30 yrs old. Im at 5.5 months with 6 weigh ins and nutrition/weight management visits with my doctor. Surgeon says he can get me approved with 5.5 months. Already had Psych Eval and its approved, Surgeon does a peer t peer with my insurance company in the coming weeks before submitting. (my insurance company wants 5 years of medical weight issues, but I don't have that much records) He says we should be good to go early November. I also want to lose the weight and really get my body ready to start a family in the nex t5-6 years. I am still looking for Mr. Right though. Good Luck on your journey!!
