Tiff-

Did you have any problems with weight gain or difficulty losing or anything like that post GB? I am nervous about this...

I will watch for your post... and I can't thank you enough! You are SO helpful! =)

Thanks hon! I am in Utah... sorry, I should have mentioned that... =)

I really appreciate the help!

It looks like I may end up needing my gall bladder out too now- so I am wondering about having one surgeon do it all so insurance helps cover the cost... Have you heard of anyone doing this???

Thanks!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the great information and posts you have out there...just wanted to let you know that your knowledge has been very helpful!!! =)

I have so appreciated all the information and resources you provide to everyone...they have been so helpful to me! I am trying to figure out where & how to get a band to sleeve revision. If I can get my insurance to cover it in the US- I will do that, provided I can find a good revision surgeon...Otherwise, I will definitely be going with Dr. Aceves- and this is all because of research I've done on him after reading information posted by YOU...so thank you! =)

Hi! I've been reading many of your posts about band to sleeve revision- and appreciate all the knowledge you share!

I am looking for a surgeon here in the US, as I think my insurance will cover the revision based on calls I have made and "medical necessity." I wanted to find out if you recommend your revision doc- or if you know of any others in the US. (Preferably on the west coast, but will travel where ever to have best/most experienced revision surgeon...)

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I saw your post about having a band and converting to the sleeve... I have had my band for three years now and have lost a lot of weight... (sounds stupid- but "gained" to get it.. up to 238, got a little too skinny, down to 125- but normally stayed around 132-135... I've now suddenly bumped up to 148 and can't budge and ounce, no matter how hard I work out or try to eat well... I can eat more than I know I should, despite two fills... my band is just not working all of a sudden! I think I've had a slip, although my doc says I haven't because I'm not nauseous...) UGH!

Anyway... do you like your doc? Was it hard to get approved? What made you decide to go this route? (And how expensive was it?) I think my hubs would flip if I started talking about spending MORE money on weight loss... we already spent 13k on my banding surgery out of pocket...

anyway... would love to hear from you...

Thanks!
