Hello all-

I just wanted to introduce myself here - I am Cortnee. I've been a member here for about a year but I was just a lurker. After a huge, long fight with insurance, I was finally approved for and had the Sleeve done on Tuesday, 9/27/11. YAY!!! So far I couldn't be happier. I feel empowered that I made the decision and took the first step to get the surgery and then I fought for the surgery that I wanted. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stories. I have a lot to learn! Thanks for reading.

Congratulations and welcome!
