I heard today that insurance said no, so I am moving on with the self-pay route, which was my original plan anyway. I am having my band removed Tuesday, November 17. That's 4 days from today! Talk about moving fast. That will give me 4 - 5 weeks to heal before the sleeve surgery over my Christmas break. FINALLY things are starting to move! Thanks for all of y'alls encouragement while I waited to hear from insurance.:thumbup:

I'm so excited for you. I know you are going to do great with the sleeve, and can't wait to hear how everything goes.

Yah! We can go through this together with Dr. Nick! I'm in next Thursday for my consult, and I should have a date then. I'll be thinking of you and praying for you next Tuesday! Keep us posted on your progress.
