This is why I am confused as well! If the other two surgeries are medically necessary why wouldn't the sleeve be?! I am probably getting way ahead of myself and I should just wait until my seminar and let dr o'malley's staff take care of it but it made me nervous!! I really want the sleeve!!!

I just got the policy from MVP and they cover bypass and the band but the sleeve is excluded b/c it is not considered medically necessary .... That does not make any sense!!! I am trying not to freak out about this I will just wait until my seminar and see what dr o'malley thinks. Maybe I can appeal it?

Well that's good to hear, I have done some research and I haven't read anything but good things.... Apparently he was even on Oprah! I just home my checklist is short too, now that I have made my decision I just want to get started!

Hi I am going to the seminar with dr o'malley also but it isn't until the end of may so I am anxious for it! Do you have your date yet? What did you think of dr omalley?

Hi, I have been lurking for a while and just decided to introduce myself... I am 26 and am at the very beginning of the process, waiting patiently( or not so patiently) for a seminar so I can get the ball rolling... I wish it was sooner, I am already excited and nothing has even happened yet! I am hoping to soon be the proud owner of a brand new sleeve!
