Ok, the semiar was very informative. Unfortunately the sleeve is not covered by insurance because it is a fairly new procedure. However, I learned something I didn't hear before about the RNY Gastric Bypass, immediately following the surgery, insulin resistance is reversed and there is a lot of hormonal changes. So, those that are IR or diabetic can usually go home without taking their usual meds. Previously I was very afraid of this particular procedure before but I think those were the magic words to convince me that this is right for me. Insulin resistance has been my major problem and I'm a carbohydrate/sugar aholic. That's got to change of course but I was really encouraged by the seminar. Now I'm waiting for a call from the hospital. They are checking on my insurance and then will have the results from them when they call. That way i can schedule an appointment with the doctor I choose. The hospital is Southwest Hospital in Lafayette LA on West Congress and Ambassador Caffery. There was a past patient who had gone from a size 32 to a 2. She was a school principal who was very inspirational. I can't wait to get started!!! WLS here I come!
