yeah, my insurance tried to say that sleeve surgery was "elective plastic surgery" even though i suffer from DVT, high blood, apnea, etc...finally after a psychological eval, they approved 95%...
hang in there
I had my sleeve surgery on 14 Apr. Doing ok, but the unexpected sneezes (3 so far) feel like they are tearing me in half (about 2 in above and to the left of my navel). I sit with a pillow on my lap now.
