Ready to begin my journey!
Hello all!
I have decided to get the vertical sleeve gastrectomy. My insurance and physician requires me to have three nutritional appointments, attend one support group session, bloodwork, psychological evaluation, , a TNE, and EKG. I have completed everything and my physicians advocate is supposed to have sent everything to insurance for approval yesterday. My bloodwork did show that I had a bacteria in my stomach called H-Pylori. So I am on antibiotics for two weeks. If I get approval from my insurance, I should have my surgery around December 16. I am excited and praying that I get the approval.
Congrats and good luck!
