Follow the rules and stick it out it is only temporary! ! Good luck.hope u feel better !! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

Keep fighting. Your bmi alone should have you approved revision or not! Maybe escalate it to the medical director of the insurance company and hopefully they reconsider. Also try getting more than one letter of medical necessity like from your pcp and surgeon but I've read the peer reviews always succeed. Good luck to you !!!! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

Hi deb great to hear from you ! I am doing well so far. 1 week post op no more pain just very mild gas pain in the shoulders. I'm more nauseous than with my sleeve and I'm down 7lbs so far since surgery day diharrea has taken over and I will be on pureed very soon can't wait for that. I did some light cardiovascular today which felt really good. So proud no more acid reflex pain at all !!!! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

Both are major surgeries ! I had my sleeve 4 years ago and dealt with Gerd very painful heartburn and my sleeve was twiated. I was just revised on 12.27 with hiatal hernia repair to bypass. Very happy so far and healing well. I still do not and will never regret My sleeve but you have to decide that for yourself. If you have Gerd and I wouldn't suggest it. Both are amazing tools!!! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

Have u decided to revise ,??? foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

I took 2 weeks off. And I think it's more than enough time ! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

I have cigna and I actually went in for a revision and they approved me 100%. Oct 19th. Nov. 11th and Dec 8th were my NUT appointments. I don't even think it was a full 90 days that I did lol. Your stuff prior is not going to count. But your doc should still let you get all your other pre op requirements out the way while on your supervised diet program for sure !!! My approval was smooth too it took like 7 days and all the reps were very very helpful. Good luck I'm sure u will be fine especially if medically necessary! !!! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

My right shoulder hates me !! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

Awesome to hear linda. I was sleeved 11.2013 and just revised on the 27th for a twist and hiatal hernia repair. I am having diharrea but other than that no issues. Oh and the gas pain sitting in my right shoulder driving me nuts !!! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

Hi alexia I'm sleeve to bypass revision here on the 27th as well. Just got released home today I had hiatal hernia repair as well. I'm having diarrhea and passing gas so I feel better but having a slight migraine minimal pain as well. I start phase 2 full Protein liquids tomorrow for two weeks hope u r feeling better soon foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

Hey ondo I just had my revision sleeve to.bypass yesterday and I must say this recovery is a lot harder than I expected I also had a hiatal hernia repair and my sleeve was slightly twisted. I'm on Clear liquids until day 3. Then I'll be on full Protein liquids for two weeks. My dietitian wants us focusing on hitting protein goals of 60g and 48oz of fluids in total. The shoulder gas pain has been killer but I've been walking a ton !!! Feel free to add or message me !!!! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App

please make sure you stress the importance of your safety and comfort. in the end it is your body not the surgeons. you push for what you want and need good luck keep us posted!Well, they only found a small hernia with my endoscopy. No other problems. So they want to work with my band. I am completely unfilled and gaining weight. I said I was willing to do what they felt was best for me. However, I wanted them to know ALL of my concerns for keeping the band. AND, I have to wait over a month before I can even get in to see the doctor to discuss anything or try to begin working with the band again. I feel like I'm getting nowhere FAST! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Oh wow. A small hernia is still a. Hernia !!!! I'd say definitely time to start looking for a new office if it's an option !!! I don't understand the band and fills etc but hoping things get better for you !! foreverbariatric Sent from my GalaxyNote4 using the App
