Congrats on your surgery. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
I live in Bowling Green so you are not to far away. I actually was banded 7 years ago. My husband was also banded and for the most part he has done well with it but I have had a ton of complications. sleeve wasn't available when I had my surgery it was the band or a bypass and for be bypass seemed as overkill. I think you are making the right decision, I honestly think the band will be taken off the market in the next few years. Plus the fills, un-fills, fluoroscopies, etc. really add up and make finding your sweet spot that much more difficult. The I am so excited that after many denials my appeal was approve, it's almost hard to believe, I fell like I'm dreaming, lol. I should let you know that since I have met my deductible for the year with this surgery I am going to push to stay an extra day. My goal is to leave the hospital on Friday instead of Thursday. Here's my email if you want to contact me directly smclaug@bgsu.edu.
If we are having surgery on the same day by the same doctor maybe we can room together and help eachother along?
