CCMASON35 reacted to StacyTracy in Revising from band to bypass in December .Need support
I have been using Unjury Protein Powder. chocolate is good. After surgery the unflavored is a must to add to your Soups and puddings. No port pain at all. The only thing I have is like it feels like a golf ball in my stomach when I drink Water but assume that's normal. I have heard that elsewhere. I took 2 weeks off but I get paid leave so blessed there. You need at least a week but 2 is better.

YES!! I had the SAME exact thing happen! I hired an AMAZING obesity advocate group who is nationally known by all insurance carriers. They operate out of CA and the main advocate in a post op patient himself who not only fights our legal battles but travels the country educating the doctors and staff about how to best get us approved the first go round or how to fight if not! Don't worry about money, they will work any payments you can afford. for me, they worked almost six months and it only cost 600.00 and they broke that up over all six months! They spoke to me weekly just about, and they WON MY CASE! We went up against Tri care on a second denial! I am now 68 lbs off since pre op and so greatful! They are called LIndstrom Obesity Advocates, # 877-992-7732. I had to live without my band for over a YEAR! DON'T GIVE UP HOPE! Call them and let them help you, they win tons of cases every year for people like us, help is out there, don't let the insurance companies win without a good fight! Let me know if you ever want to talk, I know just how you feel right now but, believe me, with them, you have a great shot! GOOD LUCK!

CCMASON35 reacted to Band2Sleeve2015 in Possible revision from lapband to bypass..LOTS of questions!
My Doc said the same thing. In fact she said she almost cringes when some opt for the band because she has done so many revisions. -

No doubt. I get very self conscious about eating in public now as sometimes I have to get up a few times during a meal to throw up. I worry about what people are thinking.
