Vsg & Ms?

[Heyher 581]

Hello! I am new and am just starting the journey towards getting the sleeve. I have MS and I worry how it will effect my chances of being approved. I am just wondering if anyone on here has had the sleeve who has MS.

Thank you!!

I have MS and self-paid, but that was because I had a BMI of 35 and no co-morbidities. The MS didn't seem to be affected by surgery or my weight loss. I didn't relapse and I feel great.

Thanks!! I have a BMI of 40, so I barely made it. I see my neurologist on Tuesday and I hope he supports it. First meeting with the surgeon in two weeks. Excited, scared, hopeful, freaked, and lots of other emotions. But this is something that I feel will help with the MS and the pain in my knee from ACL replacement.

Fingers crossed.

I have MS too and have had no problems with my MS since the surgery a month ago.

Quick question, did you notice the fatigue after surgery was really bad? I get fatigued so easy, so I'm worried about my return to work I'm hoping for three weeks off, but I read people without ms were still really fatigued at 4-6 weeks out...
