You must appeal! My bmi was 35.8 with comorbidities and I was approved right away. They wouldn't go for me getting a sleeve because they required a 40 bmi with comorbidities. If they won't go for it just don't give up. Good luck

Thanks for the advice, don't worry I won't be putting on any weights.  However someone in the office told me to drink a lot of water and then go weigh in.  So we will see.

Whew. I can't believe I responded like that...I had heard of someone doing that. I really did have general anesthesia yesterday LOL. I'm feeling much better now . I just recently changed ob-gyns to find a doctor more up-to-date with pre-menopause symptoms. I'm very pleased with my new doctor's proactive approach. He recommended the Nova Sure procedure. I'm bringing this up here because I feel absolutely great phsyically this morning and excited about the possibility of never having a monthly period again (80% women treated don't). I had to share in case anyone else is suffering thru those monthlies right now.

Also..Hubby working 12 hour shifts all weekend and told me to just "take it easy" and lie on the couch ALL day, ALL weekend. ok. if you say so.....
