  1. Hello, I would like to ask how are you doing? I'm in the process to get sleeved and also have fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis. I'm just wondering how the sleeve experience has been for you have the other conditions. Thanks!
  2. How are you doing? I have the same conditions I'm in the process for the surgery but my RA and fibromyalgia are killing me.
  3. How is everything going? Where you able to get the acid reflux under control?
  4. Hello, I started the options program this week will be my 4th class. Does anyone know I didn't even think about it, once your in the program does that mean they will cover the surgery? Or can they can still deny you after you finish the program? I'm heavy but not the 40bmi.
  5. Hello Everyone! I started my journey to get the gastric sleeve. I have to do 4 months of classes. My questions is I have RA and fibro and scared of the possible complications due to my conditions has anyone had any complications and not able to take meds? I'm on a fb support group and get freaked out. I was sure this is what I wanted until I started reading some of the complains. Horrible acid reflux, nausea,vomiting, losing teeth and so on. So I'm a bit freaked out at the moment. Lol, any info from anyone with a autoimmune disease will be helpful. Thanks everyone!
  6. Hi, So I have a appointment jan 12 for my consult. I'm nervous!! I suffer from RA. Has anyone here been banded and have RA?? I'm just not sure what to expect I hope my insurance is going to pay for this surgery.
