Congrats on your approval. It took me quite a while to get mine but it just came in today. I actually went thru 2 appeals and we ended up submitting a new case. I was banded in 2010 and lost probably about 35lbs from my surgery date only. I started vomiting constantly and the doctor couldn't figure would why because he said I had the perfect fill. He would take stuff out and it still happened. I finally took more and more out....not I am totally delated which of course brought the weight back fast.

I originally wanted the sleeve but now I am thinking to go to the RNY. I was told people that have the lapband which is restrictive don't lose as well with the sleeve. I was also told there is more of a chance of leaks with the sleeve in the revision because of the scar tissue and then there is the acid reflux issue.

I have a couple friends that originally had the RNY and love it. I would love to know more about how the recovery went..

Again congrats on your approval!!!! Made my day too!

I, too, originally considered the Sleeve. I have just been approved for the RNY an am looking at mid November for surgical date. Have you had your surgery yet? How are you doing?
