You can find some on YouTube.

I did not have to send any records from my doctor here. The process is just like the response above!

I have some! http://www.pinterest.com/elliekaevsg

My insurance company does not cover anything related to the surgery I paid out of pocket for. I never had any complications and we have to get creative with the medical billing codes for the bloodwork... then it is covered.

I also had Aceves as my surgeon and had a great experience!

You guys will love Dr. Aceves and his team. I was sleeved 12/20/12 and today I am down 73 pounds. I truly believe that the quality of the surgeon affects the outcome; not all sleeves are the same. I am lucky to have not suffered nausea or vomiting at any time.

So thankful to have not had a stall for more than 3-4 days. Sleeved 12/20/12 and am down 71.5 today!

Hi folks just checking in! Surgery was 12/20 and I weighed 290. Today I am at 232.5 and feeling great!

Sleeved 12/20 and down 60 pounds!

My 3 month surgiversary goal was to lose 60 pounds. I have one more day to lose one more pound. Hoping to see a loss tomorrow morning when I weigh in!

So excited for you right now! I bet your pre-op stuff is almost done!

Fiddleman I am sorry to hear this is happening. I hope you can get in to see your doc and find some relief soon. Sending good vibes your way!

Glad it worked out!

I sent a personal check for the deposit and paid the balance with a cashier's check after my pre-op testing was done. I would not send a wire.

The Fitbit Flex was delayed until May 1. So sad about that! For anybody tracking food and Water in MyFitnessPal it can push the data over to Fitbit, too.

I started with Nike+ but found it to be quite limited in capabilities. I now use Endomondo and like all the feedback, especially ascent and descent data. I wonder what the premium version has.

I also went alone to Dr. Aceves and I was just fine. A friend was going to go with me but at the last minute was unable to due to work obligations. Once I got there I was glad she hadn't come because I wouldn't have wanted to worry about her (was she bored? was she having fun? was she comfortable at night? was she warm? was she cold? did she have enough to do to keep busy? was she getting enough to eat/drink? etc.) and I was able to focus on myself and doing what I needed to do to heal and be comfortable. You will get to know your fellow sleevers during the pre-op stuff you have to do and once you all go to the hotel you may find yourself dining with them like I did. You will check in on them and they will check in on you - so you will have that support. Plus, I found that I got extra visits from both Aceves and Campos since I was alone. If I needed anything (lights on/off, door open/closed, etc.) the nurse was there within seconds. You'll do great!
