I was banded in 09 and am having my band removed in Sept. my surgeon said it barely slipped but my reflux was so bad they had to take out most of the fluid. I have already gained some weight and I have been strict on WW trying to maintain. Hoping to have the sleeve in November. I am angry too and fear having it out because of the weight gain. My self esteem is soo low right now it's depressing. Nicole I hope you start to feel better. You aren't alone .

Great thank you do much for this. I will go online and compare mine. I'm pretty sure it will be the same since its UMR.

Hahaha I just saw how that looked too. I work in a medical facility and all we do is a abbreviate everything haha.

Would love any feedback and your experiences. Thanks

You know I'm honestly not sure if it is choice plus. We got this insurance for the first time it honestly confuses me haha. I currently gave the gastric band and need to have it removed due to horrible reflux etc and I am curious to know if anyone has had to do the whole six month pre surg requirements again since I have technically already done it first time around. .

It's called UMR and they are a part of UHC!
