Sleeved or not sleeved:

I have had a gastric sleeve.

Biography:

Married, two kids. Diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis in 2008 which totally changed my world. Stopped working because I was in so much pain. Was put on steroids and went into a deep depression and gained 120 lbs. Got out of my funk and off the steroids but couldn't loose the weight. Started a program at Bariatric Physician Specialists but was not approved for the sleeve because I am on Medicare. I was approved for Gastric bypass but do not want the bypass because of my medications for my RA. So I'm hoping and waiting for Medicare to approve VSG!
