I am new to this site, but not to weight loss surgery, this is my second time around after dissapointing results with th lapband that I had placed in January 2009. My highest weight was 302 lbs. at surgery date i was 285 lbs. my absolute lowest achieved was 234 and my band was so tight I have to blend and add Water to Soup. I was able to maintain 247 for about 3 years. In the last year I've gained weight back, I'm up to 268. After much research and sites like this one i was able to make the decision to go with the sleeve as my revision surgery.

I've already gone through the whole process of getting insurance approval. I WAS APPROVED!!

I haven't spoke to my Dr. yet about a date but I hope to have it in the next month or so.

I hope this one is a better experience for you!!! Congrats on getting approved, welcome to the site and good luck with your journey

Congrats and best wishes for an early surgery date!

Congrats and good luck!
