SC Southern Sleevers?

I walked on a treadmill with a breathing apparatus for about 15 - 20 minutes. I blew some breaths in a tube when they said to about 10 times. Then they wrote me a letter and that was it. No pain involved. Go get it done!

You went to Carolina Pulmonary right across the hall from Riverside??

I actually had mine done right across the hall from Riverside Surgical - it was pretty easy. Just breathing measurements, etc - though I will say that particular office was the least friendly that I dealt with. I had to get a cardiac clearance also and that one was a little tougher - I had to get all my testing and everything done before they submitted my paperwork to my insurance. Hang in there, girl and do whatever they want - it's worth it!

I hope it's not to bad. They told me I had a date back in August that I was a no show for...but I don't remember it. So now I have to wait until the 29th for the pulmonary clearance appointment. Then I will get a surgery date. I guess im February sometime!! I can live with that. Just gives me time to get my $$ together!!

I had my surgery at MUSC in Charleston because I had auto-immune conditions involved. But got it done and made it to goal in less than five months. I am below goal now... I am happy I got it done!

I will do that...I am 11 mos out best decision I've ever made! I had the pleasure of having my surgery in Mexico since my insurance would not cover it I must say that I was a little hesitate but it was a great experience, I was never alone! I am 80lbs down now thought I would be at 100 by Feb 18th but I am more than satisfied with my progress.
