    Does anyone know how often they review and update these medical policies? My surgeon recommended either RNY or sleeve for me and after tons of research, I decided that the sleeve was the best fit for me. THEN I find out my insurace considers it expieremental and it isn't covered. RNY scares the heck out of me. The sleeve has been out long enough (I feel) to see that it is better than RNY. I just don't know what to do. I mean I can't afford to pay out of pocket so I can either go ahead with RNY or stop everything and wait until my insurance covers the sleeve, but how long will that be? Any suggestions? On my medical policy, the last time they looked at the sleeve was 9/2008. It is 2010.
