TTC2U 8 Posted January 19, 2014 Hi. I'm in Tucson. I will get sleeved Feb 6th by Dr. Burpee. Anyone else ever used him? In Tucson? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtnhomeeee 27 Posted January 22, 2014 Met with Dr Juarez today, didn't get much done..he kept saying if my "insurance" didn't approve me for the sleeve they would do the bypass....I go thru the V.A. and am already approved for the sleeve, I don't want the bypass....but he kept saying this over and over he wasn't listening at all......then did my 101 class which was a waste of time for me as I have already learned all of this stuff thru these boards lol then I have thier 201 class on the 4th and suppose to have surgery 2 weeks after so I'm guessing around the week of the 14th I'm all like let's do it today already!!!!

Susysleever 265 Posted January 22, 2014 it seems that they don't do sleeves in the US they seem to prefer a bypass or a band. wanna come with me to Puerto Vallarta to have a sleeve? jk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mtnhomeeee 27 Posted January 23, 2014 talked to my NUT today who coordinates everything with the VA and St Lukes she said they will do the tests soon and have me scheduled probably the week of the 18th of Feb for the sleeve not the bypass Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
