Dr. Kevin McGill at Piedmont hospital in Atlanta did my sleeve 3 weeks ago today! He is very skilled, and compassionate. Easy to talk to and very reassuring. I had a freak out moment on my first night home from the hospital and called him apologetically at ten pm, and he was very understanding and made me comfortable.

My sleeve date is Tuesday the 19th. I am super excited. I think I have nervous energy tonight. Laundry is done . I have my hospital bag packed. All my clear Proteins lined up ready to go. It's like "nesting" at the end of pregnancy. Its taken about 9 months of preparation, testing etc to get to this point! Let's do this!

What made u pick the bypass over the sleeve? I'm trying to decide which one I want...pulling my hair out trying to decide.

I have Aetna. Your employer can pick different coverages under the same insurance name. Mine unfortunately does not cover any bariatric. Period . No matter what your BMi is or co morbidities. How forward thinking. I just secured a loan at a self pay rate. I meet with my surgeon tomorrow. It is just that important to me!
