Hey Aurora I'm originally from Windsor next to Hartford but moved to Enfield a year ago to be closer to work right on the Massachusetts line love it out here!! Sent from my Samsung Admire using VST

congrats! you are doing great!!!

it depends on what state you are from. in Connecticut i have Husky A which is medicare as well. they cover the body not the arms and legs i believe. my friend is getting hers done next month but your Surgeons office should be very familiar with what they cover and you can also call your insurance directly and they will tell you. mine covers it a year out and it has to be medically neccessary causing rashes and irritation stuff like that

Best present ever!!! My birthday is also the 5th getting sleeved on the 6th!!! Surgery date November 6th 2012!!!!<br />Sent from my Samsung Admire using VST

Gotta be cigarette free 3 weeks before and after surgery. It is hard!! Try chantix or e cigarette. I'm still struggling getting my surgery date in two days. There are tons of posts on here where people never stopped and are perfectly fine and had amazing recovery. I am too scared to risk it so I'm gonna follow my surgeons orders LOL. Good Luck to you!!!!

My insurance covers it if its "medically necessary " causing rashes or irritation and such and u have to wait at least a year after surgery to apply. My friend told me they donate the skin to burn victims as well. Sent from my SCH-R720 using VST

Although its an elective surgery it is still medically necessary for us to lead a healthier lifestyle I work at the office and I'm taking 3 weeks. I have 4 vacation days left and I have SHort term disability with fmla. If ur job offers it I would definitely take full advantage. If uu heal well and feel as though you will have help I wish u best of luck and hope u have a speedy recovery they seem supportive so I wouldn't worry Sent from my SCH-R720 using VST
