I am still trying to get scheduled on the band removal, but i just got word my insurance approved the sleeve! woo hoo!

Well, every cloud has a silver lining. At least you have the approval in hand! Good luck on getting a date for the removal.

Yes, my biggest problem is that my husband has some serious issues going on right now... so it is hard to committ to when I can take on the necessary changes brought on by being sleeved. I also have some big work deadlines coming up in the fall... so just working out the logistics is a challenge.

I NEED to do this, my weight is such a major issue for me (arthritis pain the biggest concern)... but i have to think of my family and work committments too.

Congrats! on the approval. I have an appt with the doctor on the 11th. His office called yesterday and said he wanted to go over the surgery with me. I just hope he isn't going to tell me no. I will call the insurance company tomorrow to see if they sent my paperwork for approval. Like you I want to get this show on the road!
