So after researching the sleeve for weeks-I have decided to take the plunge and get the procedure! I am so excited...I can barely sleep at night and focus at work!! Since my insurance won't cover this elective surgery I will be paying out of pocket for this procedure (thus I have to wait until March to get my bonus). I am so ready for this next chapter of my life- forever and always healthy in a few months!

Congrats on your decision and best of luck on your surgery!

welcome newbie

request a change of address card from the post office

you are moving to the wonderful neighborhood of sleeveland

you are obviously a smart cookie making the wise decision to be sleeved

sorry insurance won't cover procedure

Are you going to Mexico??

i don't know the procedure you need to do prior to surgery

did you already get your surgeon etc???

such an exciting time

good for you on doing lots of research

coming to the board will help you gather more information

you can see many good questions for pre-op and post op

you will be able to see how people react to surgery

common side effects like gas, being tired

hopefully you'[ll read about the manyyyy people like me

that had uneventful recoveries since all went without a hitch

YOU ask your questions

read the boards to find many good questions

then great answers

don't get toooo excited at work

get plenty of sleep too

you don't want to get fired

from your excitement/day dreaming about the surgery

you need to get that bonus money

good luck bud

march willll come sooner than later

take care

kathy

Congrats on your decision!

Congratulations on your decision! To bad your insurance won't cover it, but I am sure it will be the best money you ever spent!! March will be here before you know it!!!

Congratulations on making a decision! It was tough for me to decide also, however I'm going down on 1/12 and very much looking forward to it. Best wishes and I hope all works out for you!

Commitment!
