  1.    JACKIEO85 reacted to a post in a topic: rebanding after erosion?
  2. I was given the option to rebrand or gastric bypass after erosion with open gi bleeding. I love the band but personally grid bypass wasn't the scary thing I was told it was, actually saved my life! I' blve most do well with then band but pray those who don't consider it bc I woke up with color I haven't had in years.
  3. I had a totally erosion and had the band or gastric bypass options. I have tears saying this bc I a, nit negative about band but gastric bypass after band saved my life
  4. They will not do surgery because the baby need more than u can give after band at times

  6. I will order hot tea with my meal out the hot tea (without caffeine if they have it) sip that before eating. It unplugs mucus and relaxes muscles
  7. Remember why you did this and post it everywhere. You could stall weight loss for a month and still be ok so just follow the doctors instructions and know it gets better
  8. I self payed for Lapband 5 years ago so this was covered but my surgeon who is top in Dallas for revisions stated its possible to get it payed if it is coded correctly by the doctors office
  9. I had an erosion with gi bleed at 5 years postoperative. All I wanted is removal and was told that was not an option due to the scares under the band. I had a revision to gastric bypass, which scared me. I woke up a new person and have not vomited or had pain in 4 weeks
  10. Hey guys I'm 26 and 5 years into the weight loss surgery journey.. If u ever have questions let me know!
  11. Yes I had Lapband in 08 and have had am erosion so band needs to come out. Dr Alexander told me to not out it back in so his team recommended bypass. I was hesitant until he showed me the complication reports where the band is at the same risk level as Lapband. Dr Alexander was the best surgeon I ,et as I tried 3 or four and he just knew the most. When I consulted with him he sat solely with me for two hours. he listened and asked about all aspects of the band and then what to do from then on. I had a choice between sleeve and bypass and he stated sleeve is great but because they don't have alot of long term surgery results in sleeve for a revision bypass is best
  12. Gastric bypass from Lapband
  13. Dr John Alexander.... He is doing my revision and he is amazing
  14. I tried this product that is called Greens and is 8 servings of veggies and fruits in one scoop which is less than a teaspoon! I was shocked that I feel so much more energy during the day and my face is now clear. I went through the containers before I started selling it and now I'm hooked!! Jessicadavis123.myitworks.com
  15. Ladies please be careful with an carbonation! The carbonation can be harmful even if it feels ok
  16. I had a perforation so I need a revision the doctor who specializes in this stated my insurance would pay bc I did cash pay for original surgery and this is deemed no elective
