Glad your feeling better. Keep walking, getting the fluids in and keep your eye on the prize

I had revision surgery from lap band to sleeve on July 7th. The surgery went way better than I expected it would. After surgery I had no pain, no gas and no nausea. The clear liquid diet after surgery is not bad at all thus far. I look forward to sipping on warm broth. So far I am a happy sleever and look forward to what my new skinny future holds. Good luck to you all.

Don't be scared. Remember why you need it. You're gonna be fine. Just relax. I had my surgery (revision from lap band to sleeve) yesterday and it went very well.

My surgery is July 7th. Having revision surgery from lap band to gastric sleeve. Has anyone had that procedure?

Hello, Just wanted someone’s input on my situation. I was banded back in 2014. I lost about 85 lbs and was doing great. Until all of a sudden it caused me grief. A lot of pain, throwing up and reflux. After6+ years I’ve since gained about 40lbs and with all the problems I’ve incurred over the years my doc and I decided on a revision to the sleeve. Well, my insurance company, BCBSIL approved removal only. So, my doc is submitting a request for the revision to the sleeve. Has anyone had this happened to them? What are the odds of them not approving the sleeve? My worry is that I do not meet the BMI requirements to get the sleeve. If anyone can shed some light on this, it will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
