Very Good!  Hopefully your will report back in with your results.  I am going to a consult for my neck.  I know that sound strange.  But between the going thru menopause and losing 80 pounds, that is the area that is facing me in the mirror every day.  I have that streched out skin just hanging there wobbling and it isn't even Thanksgiving.  I was going to see Steven Morris as I have heard about him for years.  But, now that he did the Biggest Loser winners I doubt I can afford him now.

How much is the LBL going to cost if you don't mind?  I will be looking into more work when I get to goal for a year.

I recovered faster from the sleeve than I did from the band or the band removal.  That said, you are going to need help with a one year old.  At that age they need you so much and don't understand at all.  I helped the DD by taken her's after her sleeve.  I was told nothing over 5 pounds for 6 weeks by the Internist and 8/10 pounds for 4 weeks by the surgery center.  No way could I pick up a 1 year old for 4 weeks with either surgery.  Just getting in and out of the crib will cause problems.  Will you have help?

Thanks for the reply. How long did it take to recover? I have a one year old so I cant be down long.

Sorry I didn't see this and welcome you sooner.  I had my band out 9/4/12 and was sleeved 1/22/13.  This sleeve is 100X better.  I sure wish I had gotten the sleeve first time around.  (They weren't doing it than and the insurance only started pay last year.)

Congratulations and good luck!

Topic: RE: Psychological testing requirment for surgery

Your insurance requires the psych eval but, won't pay for it?  I know some don't pay for it but, they don't require it usually.  I think I was told it would be like $365 cash but, can't find the paper right now.  Way up from what it was four years ago.

Hi!  I am in the Flint area and had surgery at Hurley.  Having had the band for 3.5 years and had all kinds of problems, I am now with sleeve and it is 100% better.  I  can't seem to respond to my messages so, if you have any qustions about the two ask away here.  mail
