New here!!

Hi I am pretty new around here and wanted to just say thanks to all of you. I read these profiles and posts daily. You all have provided me much inspiration to keep going with this weight loss surgery journey! I am currently going through the Wellness Institute in Chicago and so far so good. The surgeon's office will be submitting for insurance approval to BCBS of IL next week after my consultation with Dr. Nagle. I have a PPO and have not heard too many good stories about them. Anyway, just wanted to thank all of you!

Jeanne, Good luck! I will pray for a speedy answer from your insurance. Let me know when you hear back. Peggy LAP RNY 10/21/03 -62lbs.

Hello,

I myself had Dr. Nagle, he did the Gastric Sleeve on my and I'm doing good. I had the Gastric Sleeve done a little over 4 years ago. I hope all went well for you on you journey. Feel free to add me to your friend list.
