I have Tricare military and was approved the same day.
just need to do a checklist and get the date of surgery.

I had my revision on Thurs 4/18. Besides gas pains the first two days, I’m doing well. I am a little worried that I don’t feel the restriction I did with the sleeve at the beginning. I can drink as much as I want without any pain.

Syltx3,
I have tricare for life and Medicare I am hoping that they will approve it asap because I am absolutely miserable with my meds not being as effective as it should be. Thanks for posting this post gives me lots of hope.

I am 5 days post op of a sleeve revision. I was sleeved 26 days ago and had severe complications. I was unable to tolerate any liquids let alone anything else. I suffered from severe acid and bile reflux. Happy to report as of now I am feeling great. I am close to meeting my new protein goal of 80 grams.
I am still in some pain as the revision lasted 3 hours and I have a few more incision sites but getting better every day. Tylenol Liquid has provided relief.
I have to say reading the various posts on this site helped me get through the past 30 days. Thank you all who contribute!

Hi Froufrou,
I'm getting the gastric sleeve revision to gastric bypass, i'm a bit nervous, i gain most of the weight back and have had other health issues like, PCOS, arthritis in knee and diabetic along with acid re-flux. how much have you lost since the revision? was it worth it? i'm just a bit nervous.

I had sleeve to bypass, but not because of GERD. My sleeve was so stretched out, it was useless. I'm happy to answer any questions about the process.

Well as i read the blogs, the more excited i get, its been a roller coaster ride for me, one day im nervous, next day im scared and now im excited. I have been overweight all my life, never thought i would do anything like this. I was always against it, but after a follow up vist with my diabetes specialist last september, i was told im only getting worst and there was nothing i could do, no matter how much i tried i would get worst, so i turned to the sleeve, and its been a process . Luckly for me im doing it with my sister, which happens to be one of my best friend too so we will be supporting each other, i dont think i could do it without her. So March 21 is the big day, we are doing the protein shakes which i have grown to like, tastes alot like a mexican shake we have had all our lifes, so its been easy, the only thing i crave everything.....but i have been holding on and we will see, hope to God everything turns out well no complications.

Hello everyone, i am TexasLady's sister, we will both be having the surgery the same day, Roseib, when is your next support group meeting we would love to attend, any help is greatly appreciated.
