Hey

Hello just wanted to introduce myself, I am Hattie and i live in a small town called Norlina..its about 20 mins from henderson. I am looking into getting the sleeve done. I go for some appointments at the end of sept (really excited)!!!! I am so ready for this new life journey, ready to be happy with my self.


Feel free to add me as a friend and give any advise it all helps!!!

Have a Great Day .... Hattie

Welcome Hattie! Do check out the sleeve forum for more info about that. I had the RNY so I don't have much advice to give. I was orignally told the sleeve would be best but my insurance didn't cover it so I changed to RNY. I'm happy with the surgery I had, though.

Will you be coming down to Duke for your appointments or are you going somewhere else?

Yes i have been looking on there and the ryn too just in case my insurance doesnt cover the sleeve i will find out tomorrow...and yes i will be going to Duke

Hi Hattie, welcome to the group. My name is Emelinda but everyone calls me Linda or Eme. U r in Norlina? I am not too far from you. I am in Roanoke Rapids. I had my surgery (Gastric Bypass) done in 2009 and that is something I have never regretted. I look forward to reading about your journey and I as well as everyone else is to support you. Again welcome to the group!!

I used to live in rr back in 2001-2003 and worked at big lots and AAA

Welcome and good luck with everything!!

 Hi enchanted,
Welcome to OH!  I'm not sure who your insurance carrier is, but BCBSNC just began covering the sleeve in July '11.  Best of luck on your journey!!
