I heard back from the Dr. He said that it wont effect me having the surgery.. whew... it was a anxious weekend for me! Thanks for the input !

I just set my date for surgery and got some blood work back showing a really high c-reative level. I emailed Dr. Alvarez's office to ask if I might not be able to have the surgery.... I was hoping for a " well of course you can still have the surgery!" email back and I didn't... I need to wait to hear what the dr says.. soo nervous now.. anyone else with high levels before surgery?

Hello All ... I am an August 27th sleever from upstate NY and just wanted to join the group! So many posts to catch up on, but so glad to be part of such a positive bunch! I am sure I will have lots of questions.. can't wait!

Thank you!

Hello! I am new to posting here.. I have been reading and reading and thought it was about time I got involved! I am going to be sleeved on 8/27 by Dr. Alvarez in mexico. I have Aetna insurance, but they will not approve me ... I have to wait for 2 more years till I can show that my BMI has been consistently over 40. I have been up and down my whole life, but I have never been this heavy. I just could't bear the thought of having to stay at this weight just to get approved. I will be forty years old in a few months and I think its time to take my life back and not wait on Aetna. I am nervous, excited, worried.. all the emotions you could possibly have. I unfortunately am going alone to mexico ... anyone fall in the same category? Any other 8/27 sleevers? I don't know a soul that has had this surgery and only know one that has had gastic bypss so I am hoping for a comforting crew here on VST! You all seem so positive and helpful....
