Some of you may recall my recent post about my return to the wls community. I finally heard back from the surgeon's office yesterday about my requirements for having the sleeve. The woman I spoke to said that my psych eval had expired 2 weeks prior to me calling them (was good for 1 year) so I had to have another one. I was lucky enough to get an appt for this Thursday! I also have to have another NUT and surgeon consult since I am switching surgeries. Then we will submit to insurance! Last time I was approved same day so hopefully I won't have to wait that long. After that, my preop testing and diet and then my surgery!!! I'm so excited!!!

Congratulations! I'm in the process of making all these appointments myself. If you don't mind my asking, which surgery did you switch from and why did you chose the sleeve?

I was originally going to have the RNY last summer but something came up 2 weeks before surgery. I recently resolved my issues and after further research I decided that I no longer wanted my intestines rerouted and think I can be just as successful with the sleeve. :)

OK. From what I read, I know you can. Best wishes!
