Feb 5 2014 was my sleeve. I have no regrets. Life is way better. I love shopping again....how about you?

Hooray ! No regrets!

Suppositories !

5 days

I was a social drinker also...I liked beer and wine. I stopped drinking beer because of the carbonation. Wine however I have tried. I am not a fan anymore. I can drink about a glass and I have the worse hangover. Not worth it anymore. I just order water and put my crystal light in it.

Congrats and good luck....I'm three months post op and wouldn't change a thing! The best thing I have ever done for myself.

I have federal bcbs basic...they made me pay 20 percent of my meds during surgery and hospital stay...total with surgeon co pay and hospital co pay my out of pocket was over 3,000! I had my surgery February 5 2014. Should I be asking bcbs what was up with that? I had to pay this total before my surgery date! Grrrrrrr....but still totally worth it. Would like refund to go cloths shopping!

I have bcbs federal basic .....I had the sleeve in February. 40 or higher BMI . Or two or more health issues do to being obese example....diabetic , sleep apnea , high blood pressure ect.... You must have two years of weight documentation and six months of weight management with a physician.

I'm live in NC. where about are you? In about 45 min north of Charlotte.

They found an abnormal lump in my breast when I got my mammogram. Then had to get another mammogram, ultra sound, biopsy...then they removed it.it was the size of a pea.....very early. So not only has the sleeve helped improve my life it also may have already saved it.

Get the surgery! Swallowing pills the next day. Hanging skin can be delt with at a later date. I also drank coffee and soda with every meal...I am happy I had to miss it .....cuz the way I am feeling now is way bigger and better then wanting to drink with my meals! Do yourself and your son a big favor get the surgery and live a longer, healthier, happier, more comfortable life.

I have bcbs federal and I had to pay my deductible up front plus 2377 for my 20 percent of the surgery I was responsible for. It wasn't the policy of bcbs but of the hospitals.

I have not been sleeved very long but I can tell you already that the pain of recovery (not really all that bad) and all the negative side effects not even come close to the positive things that I am feeling!

You go girl! Congrats

I am 10 days post op does anyone have any good ideas for food that I can eat? I am sick of creamed soup!
