  1. This doesn't help you now, but if you are a sleever, know this: In a moment of weakness, our NUT admitted that with the sleeve it is possible at some point to take some ibuprofen if your stomach is healed. With the RNY it is always not allowed. He said the same thing about my aspirin therapy. At some point is the operative phrase.
  2. My surgical team required a specific psych eval at a specific place (same hospital system) and they did not take insurance. It only took one session as long as you filled out a bunch of forms beforehand. But still it cost $300. As an off topic. the nutrition class is not covered either but other nutritionist appointments have been as part of medical weight management have been.
  3. I had two sleep studies. One to diagnose the apnea and another to decide the settings. Then I had to go to a place for the fitting.... An incredible hassle!. I have come to find out they can combine both studies into one and let you do it at home, but they were apparently looking for more in my case because I have symptoms of restless leg syndrome. It also took me a good month to get used to sleeping with one but I do think it is helping me. And they take your CPAP settings into consideration when delivering the anasthesia in the OR on the big day so all in all a worthwhile thing.
  4. Hi, I am getting the sleeve (hopefully) and I decided to worry about whether they would be shaving my chest and gut entirely or just enough to put the electrodes on and to allow room for the incisions?
  5. For me, on Apple Iphone 5S it cant log in. NSURLErrorDomain error-1012
