Hello! Glad to hear that your process is moving right along. I am set to see my surgeon on Thursday and then the process begins to gather insurance information and submit it. after much research and prayer, I am going with the VSG (sleeve). I feel this is the best option for me and what I feel comfortable with and that is what it is about: what do you feel comfortable. Hopefully your surgeon can gudie you through this decision but the final call is yours. Do what is best for you and your goals.

Leap Forward in Life!

I have a band and am trying to get it replaced with a sleeve.  The sleeve leave the natural opening alone and that is important to me.  Also if some help is needed down the road and you do need malabsorbtion it can have a by pass added and would than be a DS.  But, they found most people did fine on the Sleeve only.

I would have had the Sleeve from the start but, the center I had to use didn't do it and my insurance wouldn't cover it.  Two months after I was banded they started doint it and now my insurance covers it but, they now have a once in a life time policy.

Good luck with what every you choose.

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.
