BarbCB

So happy for you!! I can kinda relate...I had been banded in 2004 and had nothing but problems with the band. We moved and I hadn't seen a dr. for it since 2006. It got so bad for almost a year I slept sitting in a chair because if I laid down I would cough up chunks of food all night. I finally got up the nerve to go to the dr, to find out that my husbands BCBS of SC excludes all WLS. I had gotten my hopes up of converting to the sleeve since at this point I now need to lose 150 pounds or so. After brooding about it for a while I realized that I was actually able to get Medicare since I am disabled with MS, that day I went to the SS office and signed up for it....More than woth it , July 23rd can't come fast enough.
