Had my first surgeons appt this morning. The PA tells me "your insurance doesn't cover the sleeve"...I thought I'd been punched in the face. To make a long story short I met with the surgeon asked him all my sleeve questions. Then I came home and called my insurance with the billing code and IT'S COVERED!!!! My plan must be the exception! I was so upset i could barely hold it together in the dr office when I though I couldn't get the sleeve. So stressful! But good news overall. And what a list of preop tests! Holy moly! I don't even know where to start!

slow down bud

need to find my sunglasses

your excitement is shining right through my computer screen

actually, i just had to turn the volume down on my monitor!!

sorry you had to go through a period of stress, feeling that the sleeve wasn't covered by your insurance

yes, there are a lot of hoops to jump through before you can get your approval for WLS

all the hoops are worth it!!!!!

pre-op tests galore, yep we've all been there, done that

this too shall pass

you are on your way to a healthier, happier, longer life with the sleeve

good luck
