OH STV! tsk tsk...you said you had arm surgery! (I wondered why you werent in a splint or arm cast....) I guess we will have to find you a smaller uniform for next summer...(NCB) good luck , dude!!

Glad you are doing well. Did your insurance cover this or were you self pay?

Insurance will cover my sleeve because I had a BMI over 50 and met all of the requirements. BCBS of Michigan did not pre approve so I went with their guidelines and had the insurance coordinator at the hospital double check. I am sure some issue will arise but I should be all set minus my co pay and deductable.

welcome to the VSG club!!! I'm happy to hear that things went well. Hospital stays are never fun are they??!! Each day gets better from here!!!

Great update. Sounds like surgery went really well! You asked about puree foods. I actually bought one of those Silver Bullet food processors yesterday off Ebay. It was raved about in my nutrition class and thought I could put one to good use as well. When I come across ideas I'll send them your way. Take Care! Fred

Congrats again. I am so happy for you. I got my approval today from my insurance and talked to Dr. English's insurance lady that said I would get my paperwork with my MDD date in it shortly. I hope that my hospital stay is as uneventful as yours was.
