Hi everyone! I have been reading the posts here for a few months while I wait on things to process with the doctor, etc... I have been fighting weight problems since I was 8. I decided to see Dr. Alanis in the Houston area because I had a discouraging experience with Lap Band Solutions. I found out that the sleeve is what I want. I have learned a lot already by reading all the posts here. I am hoping to be sleeved by October. I still have to see the dietitian three more times. I have Aetna insurance so its just part of it. I have questions... just happy to have this here.

Hello to you. It sounds like we're on a very similar path as I am also hoping to have surgery in October. Like you, I have Aetna, and I have to see the nutritionist and weight loss doctor for three months prior. In the meantime, I'm trying to lose as much as possible pre-op with the hope of making the surgery and initial recovery easier.

I look forward to hearing about your progress and your experiences getting approved through Aetna.

Best wishes.
