I'm just as scared as you. Not sure why I have had several surgeries. With any surgery there is risk, I'm thinking it's my love for food. The food will not win !!!! I want my health and my life back I feel horrible in how I am now. Everything is high, I have been on depression meds, high BP and now I am borderline for cholesterol and diabetes. I'm tired of feeling this way. It's time for me I am 49 and misserible! You can do this!!!!! Huggs

Woo Hoo! Good for you, that is fantastic........

Id like to know the same thing........I had no pain except when I woke up and they were taking me to my room, as soon as they could I was on morhpine, kept on top of it. Never ever felt anything after that. I'm hoping thats how it will be when I get sleeved.......

ahhh........Thank you and that is great!

I means NSV

What is NVS?

Good luck and speedy recovery!

Great to hear all went well!........And that most pain is from the incision. What I am most scared of is the pain. Not sure why I had a complete hysteroctmy in 08....lol

Thanks! I do too. Congratulations to you finishing your 6 months and that it's right around the corner for you!!!! I'm anxious to hear how it goes.....

Thank you Lissa, I am very excited!

So, I have been lurking around here for a while.......Reading up on as much info as possible. Back when I was gun ho about getting the sleeve done my insurance did not cover the sleeve only the gastric bypass, which I did not want. I have recently begun to look into the sleeve again. We are less than 6 month away from revising our insurance plan. We keep the same insurance but we are able to choose different plans to fit our needs. I had talked with my hubby to change it to the best plan for where they will pay 100% on most. The plan I have now I had to come up with 6000 dollars which was impossible. The good news is I just got off the phone with my surgeons office and she looked into my insurance cause sometimes they will change it. They changed it!!! They now cover the sleeve, I am so darn excited!!!! Scared at the same time.... So I will start my 6 months of Nut visits this month do my phyc evaluation and some blood work. I do have 5 years back of my bmi being high, high blood pressure, in the gray for my cholestrol, joint pain, back pain, blah blah..........all that stuff with carrying around a extra 100 pds plus. I am so happy they cover it, but yet at the same time its scary that it might actually happen, considering all things with our finaces work out. Yea!!! :)

Smooth move tea will also help

Does anyone have this insurance? They do not cover the sleeve for me, I was wondering if anyone has this, If so I'd like to know if you fought and tried to get them to cover the sleeve? I would hate to follow through with all my visits only to be denied. They do cover the gastric bypass but I don't want my insides moved around. Any thoughts or advice?? Thank you, Teri
