  1. I have heard that for many people their taste buds change after surgery, and food doesn't just taste the same. Have you found this to be true?
  2. My insurance will cover either the band or the sleeve- which one do you recommend?
  3. I really want the sleeve vs RNY but I think alot will depend on my insurance agreeing with me
  4. Does your insurance cover both the bypass and the sleeve?
  5. I am considering the sleeve- a friend told me I could never have any alcholol after the sleeve. Is that true- no more wine....at all?

    Lap Band vs Sleeve

    I am kinda disappointed. Two weeks ago I was told my insurance paid for either the band or the sleeve. So I read and researched and decided on the sleeve. Today I went to the Dr they said insurance "sometimes" payes for the sleeve but always payes for the band and gastric bypass. I just don't want the complications of the band, so keep your fingers crossed for my insurance coverage!!!
