Hi everyone! I have bad and good news. My blood pressure is no longer being controlled by 1 medicine , so my Primary care physician has added an additional medication. The good news is because of this, my insurance company has approved me to get the sleeve!!! ( This is after 2 denials last year) Yea!!!!! I am so excited, and so scared!! and so excited!! Now just to figure out when I can fit the surgery into my hectic schedule. I am a full time student and we have just begun a new semester. How many days should I plan to take off? Have any of you had the surgery in the Cincinnati area?

CONGRATULATIONS!! I am thrilled for you! As for taking off... most say 4-6 weeks while you fully recover. Here's to you and your good news!!
