I just joined this group. I am starting the process for the sleeve. I live in SE Texas and am traveling to Houston for this surgery. It will be a revision from lapband. My lapband slipped, and I did not have very good results with it, only lost 60 lbs and had it since 5/09. I saw Dr. Sherman Yu last Thurs. Anyone had surgery by him? He did a bypass on my dght 2 yrs. ago with good results. I wanted a bypass, but he seems to think the sleeve will work for me. That is great because it is less surgery and hopefully the same results. I go on the 29th for EGD am having the labs Monday , nutrition consult on the 28th. Hopefully Monday I can get my cardiac clearance letter from my cardiologist office, at least I am getting the process started. I think my insurance will pay for it with the right documentation. Looks like most people on this message board are having good luck with the sleeve so I am looking forward to getting it done and getting this weight off. I am diabetic and on a ton of meds. I am getting a lot of good information from people on here. Thanks.
