On 6/26/2019 I got a sleeve gastrectomy with doctor Parish at Bellevue Hospital in NYC. Doctor parish was excellent very caring and made me feel comfortable in the OR and at recovery. My starting weight was 206lbs 5’2” today I am 145lbs. My insurance paid for my surgery but if had to I would’ve paid out of pocket. This was the best decision I made. I am so happy with my new body. I’m so much more confidant. I bought so much clothes, probably too much since I’m getting plastic surgery next but ladies if you are wondering if you should get the sleeve surgery, go for it!

You look amazing!!! Do you mind if I ask what helped your insurance company pay for it? BMI?

Thank you! I’ve had a history with weight issues that are in my records. I’ve seen nutrionists, have taken pills, gym, personal trainers, and the weight was hurting my knees and ankles so all that factored in helped. My BMI wouldn’t have qualified
