WORTH IT
I have the gastric sleeve 2/2014 which was covered by insurance so was my panniculectomy......I love my surgeon he's nice and honest. My out of pocket was abt 1400. Even though it haven't been a month and still healing I don't regret nothing. It changed my life. So far so good I don't have any complaints. Every one at office is great.

So, far so good. No regrets.....I decided it was time to start my 2nd phase of my weight loss journey.....I'm still in the healing process I don't believe there's any cons. After battling my weight for 16 years I believe I deserve it......just don't dwell on the muscle tightening and the numbness of your belly.....well I'm s mouth out so far do good. I
