Well its official, I have a surgery date of May 19th! Im so excited but am also nervous/anxious. My doctor said it shouldn't be an issue to remove my band and do the sleeve at the same time, which is a huge relief. Anyone else having surgery in May in or around Dallas?

I'm hoping for revision but from Nh I don't think my doctor will do the survey at the same time he said do to insurance requirements I have to have band removed do the program again and then can be sleeved blah so it looks like Oct or Nov for me

Oh yeah I'm a self pay so I think thats why he's able to do the surgery in one. Good luck on your journey!

Ah I c! Thank you and good luck to you as well

Are you a self pay or is that what insurance wont cover? My insurance isn't covering anything. Being a self pay I'm paying $16,000. That includes everything from my EGD to my post-op appointments, overnight stays in the hospital, nutritionist, anesthesiologist, and everything else in between

I'm in Houston with a goal of the end of May. The surgeon thinks its doable, as long as I continue to meet all of my insurance requirements. I am also extremely excited and scared.

16000 is what I've heard for a self pay

That is out of pocket Ins is paying for revision from band to sleeve

I'm having mine May 20th at the microsurgery institute in Dallas. My insurance is paying for the removal of the band only at the out of network cost.
