Any one had BPD w/ DS? Or considered it?



Recommended Posts

Hi there, I recently had my band removed due to several issues since placement in sept 2008. My insurance company revised there policy on their revision surgeries. I had appealed it all the way to the state level in 2012 and denied, they said not medically/clinically necessar . Gained all my weight back since the after having 2 babies. Made an appointment to see my surgeon in July after I found Priority Health's revised policy on a fluke.fHe mentioned the BPD with DS is an option for the "super obese". I had to decide after my appt on Tuesday so they can submit for approval. I went for long term success over safety. With 2 little girls at home, I hope I chose right!

I'm a different candidate (RnY) but I'm backing you emotionally. For me it's also 1 son instead of your 2 little ladies but like you I'm going in eyes wide open. You want a chance to be in their lives instead of a mommy memory. Some just don't lose easy, you and I had a cave ancestoress who hibernated like winter bears. I was a strong big girl now I'm a wearing- out lady. My daily health says No more Rosey, have the surgeon prune you back, yeah but when the pruning is done it will be up to me to keep growing straight. Its a tool for you and me also. Do what ya gotta do, babe, that's my motto also! Love and Hugs Rosey

It totally changes the game after having kids. When I was first appealing my insurance for the 2nd surgery I didn't have kids and didn't give it a 2nd thought. I was looking at RNY but have since heard of this procedure from my surgeon. I was all geeked and prepped for it until I did my official consult and the risks now that reality has hit it could get approved this time. Love that, Do what ya gotta do. Thanks for your input.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
