10 days for me! When is your surgery date??

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!

Thank you heather I will also keep u in my prayers oh it's coming up so fast!

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!

I had an upper GI yesterday and the Dr said the band had slipped up stating I had no pouch and the band should be further down around the top of my stomach not around my esophagus. So I will be seeing my surgeon next week. Has this happened to anyone else and what now??

No I had a barium swallow done but I had a slip and now my Dr is submitting paperwork for a revision to bypass

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

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

I don't understand how they can get away with not covering it they can no longer refused preexisting conditions but can refuse complications related to wls ridiculous

Great.....

I have heard that from a lot of people right after they were done all you can do is try and get your fluids in

Hope all went well with your surgery!

I am going to try to see if my insurance will approve a revision but I'm afraid that it may not happen since I have no comorbitites so Mexico is my second option I'm wondering who people went through for Agency's And which doctors they used for revision. Such as occ, beliteweight, alighterme ect. And how were their experiences. ThNksw

Wonderful news!

Look into mexico. Go to the tab self pay and mexico.

I'm very excited for u I see my surgeon the 23rd to figure this mess out I'm so done with this band And Eager to be sleeved! Mindy

Great to know thanks
