Hi. I'm returning to this forum after about 7 years. I went through the process then and didn't get final approval due to being diagnosed with Crohn's around the same time. I've been off/on Weigh****chers numerous times since then and my weight keeps going up and down and the weight loss is slower now that I'm older also (45). I was also diagnosed with sleep apnea last year and I have arthritis in my hip due to congenital hip dysplasia (already had the right one replaced but would like the left to last as long as possible). So I decided to start the process again. I go see my PCP in a few weeks and I'm also attending an informational seminar at the hospital at the end of the month. I live in the Bay Area, CA and will be going through John Muir (most likely Dr. ***** to get the VSG.

Went through entire process in 2010 and GI doc wouldn't approve due to recently being diagnosed with Crohn's. Starting again in 2017!
