  3. Revision for me scedualed August 4th hoping for a good recovery
  4. Revision. For me August 4th so excited And nervous
  5. Same here revision august 4tg!
  6. Having my revision August 4th excited And nervous only ten more days!
  7. After the band I was in pain from the gas mostly and my port site but I remember waking up from the surgeey in so much pain and when I tried telling the nurse she was sharp with me saying I already gave you meds I was nauseous too and when I had to get up and walk it was awful I could barely move. Hoping the pain for revision and removal is no worse than this if I made it through that and giving birth to two kids I can make it through this time too...I hope!

  10. I'm having a band to bypass revision august 4th thank you for the positive post. My biggest fear is the pin with having two surgeries at once but I do feel a buy better now And I just keep reminding myself this is my journey And its not always easy but will be worth it!
  11. No I had a barium swallow done but I had a slip and now my Dr is submitting paperwork for a revision to bypass
  12. Also experiencing the same thing had an upper GI band had slipped having issues with weight regain reflex food getting stuck and lots of pain. My Dr is doing the paperwork for a revision to bypass if approved it will be August 4th. I also am nervous by such a serious surgery but then I think look at what I've excepted now and deal with daily I can and will be able to handle the pain post surgery (always my biggest fear is pain) the Dr said he can do it laproscopically fingers crossed for an approval
  13. I'm doing the same and have anthem my Dr said I could call and ask for a case manager to help me get approved. I will be calling let me know how it goes for u and I'll let u know as well
