To Sleeve or Not to Sleeve - that is the question...
ASLEEVE4ME2015 replied to Hetera's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
. My employer does not do ins Jan to Dec. mine is June to June which is great because my deductible runs the same way & works out good without having to bunch appointments up or get them in I should say by the end of the year (holiday time). I sure hope that whatever ins your employer chooses has the bariatric coverage so you won't have to spend your retirement money. Best of luck to you!!! -

How are you doing with your Sleeve?? -
I think I hate my surgical group...
ASLEEVE4ME2015 replied to lauren8486's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
go with your gut feeling & find another group. Some practices go out of whack because they are greedy & seeing too many patients. Also just think you will be dealing with the group pre-op, post-op & a life-time. Good luck with everything. -
The day is finally here????

My Journey to getting the SLEEVE.
ASLEEVE4ME2015 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I'm in the pre-op stage of being SLEEVED. I've been BANDED twice. First in 2010 then again in 2014. The first band slipped twice so I replaced it instead of being SLEEVED because #1 I was afraid of being SLEEVED (although it was suggested) #2 I lost 100 lbs with the BAND & thought why would I switch. Now after a year & few months I'm having issues with tightness & gerd. I keep going up & down with the fills which is not good. My BMI is under 30 but my Insurance will pay because I'm having same symptoms as first time plus more & I cannot tolerate fills. So all ins & my Doctor requires is an EGD (my last one was 2010) also Labwork & EKG. My EGD is on April 30th. I exercise & still eat small portions & protein shakes everyday. My PCP & Bariatric Surgeon calls me their star patient, because I'm not giving up or giving in to old bad eating habits. Sooooooooooo that's my story & I've done lots of research on the SLEEVE & I know this is for me. I've also been to two support groups which wasn't asked or required. I felt that "I" needed to do that for me. -

Who will you tell that you are having WLS?
ASLEEVE4ME2015 replied to LilMissDiva Irene's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
. I'm a private person as well. I feel it's not anybody's business what I do to better my health and self. Especially Co-Workers, they just want to know your business so they can gossip about you. -
SENDING PRAYERS AND WELL WISHES ON YOUR BIG DAY. MY EGD IS ON APRIL 30th. I TOO HAVE THE BAND. IN FACT I'VE HAD TWO BANDS. JUST NOT WORKING OUT FOR ME, BUT THANK GOD IM MAINTAINING MY WEIGHT. YOU WILL DO JUST FINE. LET ME KNOW HOW YOU MAKE OUT.
