Sent from my iPhone using VST Hi Nurse, welcome! i did not know that the University of Miami does sleeves.. Is your insurance paying for it? i chose to go to Mexico because i didn't want to go through months of evaluation and have to wait even longer for approval from my insurance.

I read your post the other day regarding the headache you kept having to deal with.. i think it was due to dehydration. How's the heartburn and gas bubble? are you feeling better with that?
