I am not a doctor, but I play one at work.
I have been waiting for this day. I have been watch for the post all day. The Dr.s preferred the Sleeve for me because of my need for NSAIDs. If it would not have passed I would have had to make the decision to have RNY and suffer take a chance with periodic need for NSAIDS and get an ulcer. Either way I am not biased, just feel happy that for me this is the right decision....

I am sure you will do fine and you weight and blood glucose is down. I to would have went with the RNY had they have denied it.
