Hello everybody! I've been visiting this website alot the last two weeks. I am wanting to get sleeved soon. I live in Iowa and have my consultation with Lamasters on may 1! I am currently 303 pounds size 18/20 jeans and xxl shirts. I contacted BCBS and they told me that it has to be medically nessesary for me to have the sleeve, my BMI is 45, and the only thing that is wrong with me is feet and knees kill I have a long list of family history diseases including diabetes, lung, heart, and liver disease, also cancer. I know that if I dont do something now, I will end up that way. I have tried phentermine, Atkins, weight watchers, farrells, the 17 day diet, I lost weight, but gained it all back plus some. I am tired of being tired... oh I have tachicardia as well. I am currently in nursing school, I work at a hospital overnight, with the sleeve how much time will I have to take off? Thanks!

I was off for three weeks, but mine was a revision from Band to sleeve. Waiting for others to chime in.

I've read about people being back to a sedentary job in 4 days... but my surgeon (I am pre-op) recommends two weeks. All the best on your journey!
