Well Hello!:yo:

I am a TEXAS GAL, and I am here to get all the info you guys are willing to share.

I want the Good, The bad, And the UGLY! (please)

After doing LOTS, and LOTS of research, I have decided to get the sleeve instead of the Band.:001_smile:

I recently found out that My insurance will cover the sleeve

(BCBS FEP) needless to say that was a plus.

I am curently in the process of meeting with my Dietician, and getting a Psyc evaluation. I have a long way to go before surgery but I gave my first step in getting healthy!

I wish everyone the best, and thank you for having a place like this!:thumbup:

My Uncle had his sleeve done in Houston and LOVED his doc. I went to Aceves in Mexico because I was a self-pay. Good luck to you!

Thank you all!

No problem, this is a great community of people here who just want to see everyone succeed in their weight loss goals.

The other board changed my mind about having the band also. I saw so many problems. When I read about the sleeve I knew it was the one for me.

Something that is not really told is the pain and sacrifice you will go thru.

Keep in mind that there will be a lot of pain and sacrifice that you will have to go thru. Good luck to you.

Its been two weeks post-op for me.

Hi Tiffany, and welcome to VST.

Pain and sacrifice? I am curious as to why you say that. Most everyone I have talked to, including myself have commented on how surprised they were at how minimal the pain was. As for sacrifice, I haven't made any sacrifices. This has been the best thing ever to happen to me. Please share more of your experience with us.

I am curious as well Tiffany to hear what you mean.

Sounds like tiff may have had a rough surgery/recovery.
