Awesome!!!!!  How did you go about getting Insurance  to cover anything but lapband ?  I'm with united healthcare(just started) and they "only " cover lapband. I 'm glad to hear of DR in Flag becouse I'm In Farmington and Fort collins is so far away(and over mountain passes)..Anyway great job sticking it out and going all the way. I will keep on bugging you with post op. questions like when are you going back to work and would you do it all again tommorow?THANKS FOR LISTENING  DONALD

I had RNY gastric byass in '02, over the past several years have gained back a substantial amount of weight, and am now seeking revision surgery.  I am researching the gastric sleeve, and was wondering what the name of your doctor is, and if you know if they perform revisions.  I'm once again at the beginning of the journey *sigh* and any help you could give me would be appreciated.  Thanks!!!

Oh Janet, I am so happy for you!!!!  I was curious as to how things were going with you and here you are, SLEEVED!!!  Please drop me a line and let me know how things are going.  I love my sleeve!  I don't get on here very often but I'll pop in now to check on you.

Again, congrats and welcome to the bench!

I just got back from Flagstaff last night. I got a VSG with Dr. Aldridge in Flagstaff. i can not be happier!!! It was a long road to get it done but I finally got the insurance approval 20 min before check in for surgery. That was so stressful, but that god it went through and here I am recovering. Since NM only offers the lap band you still have to go outta state for bypass and the sleeve. I would recommend Flagstaff I love the town and the office staff did a great job and of course the Dr rocked!!! lol yeah I'm just a little excited ... if you any question message me :)

Hello everyone!
 wow im so glad that i found this site! Right now i'm going through the last steps before my insurance will approve me for surgery. I started this whole process last june and i was only 2 appt from being done with all the pre qulifying appt....Then it all really started to sink in that im going to be having a life changing surgery and i got scared honestly......But then i realized that i have come to far in all of this to chicken out...I was a smoker of 6 years, but of course i had to stop in order to have the surgery...so i figured if i can give up my worse addiction to have this done then i really could do this.... Sometimes i feel like im going through all this by myself and thats usually the hardest....  Does anyone have any good advice for me to make this process easier?

Topic: RE: Dr Syn and surgery...
He wants you to stay 7 days after surgery, then he has a followup appointment with you that 7th day then he let's you go home. The hospital can give you ideas on where to stay that offer a medical rate. You cannot go wrong with Dr Syn. He's the best!
