I'm in Birmingham. I had the sleeve performed on December 18th with Dr. Touliatos. My first two weeks were rough, but I'm much better now. I didn't have to go through the six-month process. My insurance approved me within two weeks and then I did the two-week preop diet.

I'm rooting for Alabama against Clemson. Does that count? #RollTide

I'm rooting for Clemson all the way!

Let's just wait and see ;)

Anyone here using Dr Schmitt have Humana Ins. Have you had any problems getting approved. I am going from band to sleeve and there seems to be a communication glitch between doctor and insurance.

Anyone from Tuscaloosa, Northport area?

I'm in Alabama. Banded in November 2008. Was approved yesterday by insurance for revision to Sleeve due to complications with the band. Dr. Miles did my band and will also be doing the revision.
