I live in Phoenix and have an appointment at Banner Estrella early next month.. I am very excited about it. I wanted to know if anybody has had this procedure in Arizona?

No sleeve yet. I am down the road in Tucson, scheduled for the 25th at Northwest Med Ctr.

I actually just hung up with a husband and wife couple in Tucson. The husband just told me that I should go down to Tucson because he and his wife both had their surgery there.. so you will be in good hands

That's great news. Thanks for the feedback!

I'm getting sleeved with Dr. Juarez at St. Luke's in PHX, it is a center for excellence and he works with Bridges AZ. Their whole team is amazing and I'm getting sleeved on Aug 19.

Good luck, it just depends on your insurance and how long they take to provide a decision, you can call and follow up to make sure they got everything and see what they say is their timeframe for providing a decision. I was told 14 business days with my insurance UHC, but had one in 5 business days. So just depends, good luck and fingers crossed you get your approval soon.
