The fact that you had to fight so hard for approval means you will do all the better fighting to make your sleeve work!  Good luck!

 Hey Stacy girl well all  ican tell u is appeal appeal I t was hard for me casue not only do I work for my own insurnace but my Friens had the route X she had no problems or complications other than her familly haf like high blood pressure

But when i requested to get approval for my sleeve I was denied I intially sent in a letter and said look this are my health issues 1-Sleep Apnes 2-Borderline Diabetic 3- Acid Reflux they denied me 2 times after apeealing the secind time I appealed thru DHS in California and resent my orginal letter and told them how was it that someone with no problems got approved and not me who does have all this Health issues I was approved boy did my Medical Group get back to me in a Jiffy

Stacy I honetly think that with the reform they maybe getting a lil harder casue some dont take this surgery serious only as a one way ticket to be thin

Im happy I got approved My kids need me and I need my health and the one thing I can say I put everything in Gods hands

Best of luck !!
