Repoman 70 Posted September 13, 2012 I'm new here. I live in The Woodlands and I just started seriously looking into the sleeve a couple of weeks ago. I've spent many hours poring over info online' date=' and today scheduled a consultation with Dr. Balette for 10/2. I'm not 100% decided yet, especially since my insurance covers no bariatric surgery at all, but I feel like I really have no other choice. Looking forward to getting to "know" some of you better.[/quote'] You will love him... He did me and my wifes sleeve 2 months ago. He is the best Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
