amysosilly got a reaction from kmax71 in Waiting
Had my last dietary appointment this past Monday. Now they are reviewing to make sure they have everything and then will submit to insurance for pre authorization. I have zero patience when it comes to things like this! The office told me can take 3-4 weeks to hear back. Oye! What has everyone's experience been with this? My surgeon is also booked 2 months out, so looking at a September or so surgery date.
A little background on me... I had the lap and placed November 2007. Lost 80 pounds but have struggled the entire time with finding a good fill amount. I am so tired of throwing up and basically cheating with food because the greasy/condiment filled food goes down better. The last 7 years have been filled with frustration (because I want to be healthier/eat healthier) and my band just seems to work against that. Against me. Ultimately after one pregnancy and all this time I have regained most of my weight. Has both knees operated on in February due to the pain. My body just doesn't handle all this weight well. Plus I've been overweight since childhood. So that doesn't help.
I am hoping to have the band removed and a bypass revision completed in the same surgery.
Anyways. Sorry I babbled. Thanks for listening.
