  1. Thank you for your reply, I'm really trying not to stress out but it's just so hard. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  2. So I had a band that was removed in Dec 14 due to slipped band. Since then I have now gained about 90 lbs, the Bariatric surgeon that took it out just told me last week that he would do a sleeve or bypass on me. My BMI right now is 32, and he wants me to lose 10 lbs before he submits to insurance, my worries are what if the insurance denies me.... Is it a different approval process since it's a revision surgery?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  3. I'm 5'6 but now when I look because of all the excess skin it makes me feel heavy still, I can put on my skinny jeans and still have this skin that hangs all over
  4. Have been banded for four yrs and went from 265 to 109 then my dr had me get some of the fill taken out because I was underweight and now I'm back up to almost 140 and I'm horrified!!!!
