I’m a 26 yr old, 300+, 5’0 woman and I have my consultation appointment 4/12. I have suffered with obesity since a child. I have a toddler of my own and I realized I wanted to change my life when I get out of breath when doing simple things with them. I’ve always embraced my shape when I was younger but since I’ve became a mom it’s hard to get the weight off. In 2019 I lost 60 pounds then got pregnant in 2020.
That’s just a little intro on me lol I did plenty of research and I want to get the gastric sleeve. My MIL had the bypass & had so many issues that terrified me (but she doesn’t follow her diet so that’s prob a big reason). But anyway, looking at the sleeve procedure, I think that will be best for me.
My insurance has WLS listed as an exclusion so I’m trying to figure out if it worth moving forward. Has anyone’s dealt with this? The surgery is costly out of pocket. Any info will be helpful.
