How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I have been through a long hard 8 month journey to get approved for sleeve surgery. I finally was approved on friday!!! For those of you questioning what weight the insurance looks at, it is the first weight from your surgeons office. ( at least my ins). I made the unfortunate mistake of losing a little weight before seeing him and it created problems with ins. I was a bmi of 39.8 and needed to be 40! I had to put on weight and re weigh for a medical review! By this time I had lost more and had to put 15 pounds back on, I think it's a shame, nothing made me different from 39.8 to 40 except insurance.
So anyways, here I am approved and excited and ready to roll. I see the surgeon this next week, will start my 2 week pre op diet and have surgery. I do have to say I'm a little nervous of the new road ahead. I could use some feedback and encouragement for this new life. I'm going to try and post my before pics.

Preop on friday!
Made my Pre op appt for friday! This is really happening lol. Bought all my vitamins this weekend. What else will I need besides protein drinks when I come home? Any suggestions will be great. Can't believe I'm so close!
did anyone where compression clothing after vsg
I'm wondering how many sleevers started wearing compression clothing after surgery to help hold the skin in. Can you tell me what your favorite brand is, and when you started to wear it? Thanks y'all, I'm just trying to get prepared while I wait out these next couple of weeks.
