  2. I was wondering the same thing about how much help everybody needed after surgery? I have two kids 7 and 11. How long after can you drive? My husband has vacation coming so we were trying to figure out how much time in needed help at home for. My surgery is set for march 25th a Monday. I was thinking a week maybe?

  4. Ok well now I got your attention hopefully I want to ask you all a question? How did you get through your last couple of weeks before surgery? Mine is scheduled for march 25th.

  5. I have UHC choice plus. It all depends on your particular plain and what your employer chooses to cover. I have a bmi of 40 no co morbities. They required 2 years if weight history. I did the whole phsyc thing and dietitian as my Dr requested. I was approved in 24 hours for the surgery. Have them email you the exact requirements and deductible amount then you will know what you gotta do. Sent from my iPhone using VST

  20. Sorry guys but this is a question for the ladies. Mostly the ones that have had c-sections. How did the pain from your sleeve surgery compare to having a c-section?? I'm just trying to figure out what to expect as far as pain wise. I'm also kinda scared of being put under. Never done that either. Thanx Sent from my iPhone using VST
