Hello! My questions is towards people who have went from the Lap band to the sleeve- how did you know the sleeve was right for you? Have you had more success with the sleeve? Do you feel different? Please let me know how it has altered your life. I am literally in the process of looking up the sleeve as I post this, so I apologize if this thread exists already. About me: I was banded dec.2013 (3 years ago omg). I have not had success with it even though I really have tried through these 3 years. i just moved from AZ where I had Premera BCBS, and I now have Horizon BCBS (ny/nj). I still have a lot of research to do to decide if I would ever go under the knife again and how much I can afford but I am really considering it especially if it is covered by my insurance (just was signed on today so I have to wait a bit to see if it is). Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone have any experience with him? He is so far the only surgeon my insurance will take,so before I schedule anything I wanted to know some experiences. Thanks!!

hello! im looking into getting my lap band done...first time about two years ago while living in ny I completed the sixth month diet,psych eval,nutrition everything! then two weeks before my surgery the surgeon that took my insurance left for personal reasons so..no surgery. NOW living in AZ I really want to the ball moving. I have called emblem so many times but cant get a straight answer. My question for anyone that could possibly have an answer is in NY my insurance is EMBLEM HEALTH and on the back it says " outside of ny national network is MULTIPLAN" im not sure what to do....hopefully someone is in the same boat as me or knows what insurance I should tell my surgeon I have. btw i am 100 lbs over weight and my bmi is 52. thanks!
