Hello Rene, I have read your post I am fairly new to this site less than a week I actually found it by mistake while researching bariatric surgery. I am so happy for you. I live in Chicago and wanted to ask you a few questions if you don't mind. According to your profile before your surgery you and I had the same BMI of 44 and we also have the exact same insurance plans. I know it took some time to get your surgery approved can you give me an approximate length of time you had to wait for approval? Also were they really specific on what was required for approval of the surgery? I'm really curious to know because I seriously want to do the surgery. Also is it better to schedule an appointment with your PCP first or the surgeon you choose. I hope this is not too personal did you have any comorbidities before the surgery? and last but not least I would love it if you could help me spruce up my page I really like yours.
