Did you end up going with Dr. Weiner? I've been watching his youtube videos. If I lived closer to Commerce/ Detroit, I would of gone with him.. But I am excited to meet the surgeon I did choose.

I just saw a post or a youtube video on that. I wish my surgeon did that. But he does the 5 or 6 incisions.

Good Luck to you as well!

Good Luck! I hope you get approved

Congrats to you both!!! best wishes

Congrats! Best Wishes

thanks for this thread. I've been a bit anxious about getting the sleeve and which insurance to go with. My current bcbs MI pays for almost everything I started the process in Oct. I found out my insurance is changing for 2015 and now need to pick fed BCBS basic or standard. . But from reading post around the internet. It sounds like I should pick basic for less out of pocket expense. My PCP sent my letter out today! Next week I should hear from the surgeons office to set up my consultation. I can't wait! I already did the psych evaluation. I've had 2 weigh ins but only 1 counts and my 3rd one next week (I need 6). But with the new insurance I'll only need 3 months of nutritional counseling. So I need to look into that. Oh and it's mandatory by the surgeon to go to at least 2 support group meetings. I've missed the two available. So, I have to make Jan and Feb.. As long as everything runs smoothly and I do what I need to. I could have my surgery Mid-March. So now, I tap my toes until I get the call and thanks to everyone that posted here. Your information was helpful and eased my anxiety, a bit.
