You look amazing

Congrats to you

Thank you everyone

I just found out from my insurance company that I do not have to go through all the preop for my surgery because I had a failed band.....they said my surgeon just has to send documentation that he removed my failed band and then all I have to do is schedule.....I could not be happier....

Congratulations

I had the lapband in 2008 and it eroded in 2011 amd had to have it removed...I am now starting a new journey with the sleeve....I had my first appt today and should be ready for surgery at the beginning of the year....I cannot wait

I had lapband in 2008 and had an erosion and had surgery for removal.....at that time the surgeon saidnwhen I was ready he will do the sleeve for me...after much hesitation and all my weight gained back I'm more than ready....but will by high mark bc/bs cover it?

Hi my name is Denise.....I had the lap and in December of 2008.....I had to have it removed July of 2011 because it almost perforated me so it was an emergent surgery.... I gained all of the weight back that I have lost and I am at my last rope.... I made the call to the surgeons office and scheduled the consultation appointment for the sleeve.... 2 things that worry me.... Will my insurance approve another procedure (bc/bs)...... And is the recovery and surgery long and painful? Any advice would help.....
