I've been coming to the website for a couple months now, but this is my first time posting. I have been married for 5 years. We have a one year old little boy, who is the light of my life. 
God has been pretty darn good to me!
I've struggled with my weight for years. I am in my mid-twenties so I've decided to do something about it so that I can start enjoying my life more while I'm still younger. The word "surgery" scares me to no end, but not being the best mom I can possibly be scares me even more.
I had my first consult with the surgeon in September. I originally hoped to have the band done, but decided to go for the sleeve instead. In the past 3 weeks I've had an upper endoscopy, pulm. functions test, lab work (14 viles of blood!!) and last night was my sleep study. I'm now done with my tests (hoping at least) and hoping that my info will be submitted to the insurance for approval when all the results come in. I have a feeling that my insurance will require an addition 6months with a nutritionist so we'll see what happens. The person in charge of insurance at my surgeons office has been given different answers about this. Now I guess I'm just waiting for the second week in November for my next doc appt and will go from there.
