Bummed

Well, my Insurance won't cover the sleeve for me. They will only cover gastric bypass, lapband, or stomach stapling. I am so bummed right now. I go to meet with the surgeon on June 12th to see what is best for me but I do NOT want gastric bypass. Looks like I may have to go with the band. The only way they will pay for the sleeve is if I need a revision after the band. Not cool!

    That is absurd that they will only pay for it as a revision. They're just costing themselves more money, and obviously not acknowledging the facts about the lap band.
