Thanks so much for your responses. I’m scheduled to have the lapband removed January 11th. So glad hopefully it will stop complications I had with it. I’m going through the process have met with the nutritionist twice and have 1 with surgeon. He did tell me he would wait 2 months after the removal before doing the other surgery. Looks like I won’t have mine until June.

Thank so much for replying, I don’t know why he just said he doesn’t and want to remove it 2 months prior. My appointment went good today just some uncertainty with insurance. I got my lap band under United health care and now I have bcbs.

Today I had my first session for 6 month documentation for sleeve. The doctor office was unclear really how blue cross would treat the process. My lap and was done under my old insurance but the sleeve would be under blue cross. They have a one lifetime approval. I talked to them they stated it should be approved. I hope so as I press on.

Hi Everyone I was banded in 2009 I started having serious stomach problems, Severe GERD and gaining weight back. My doctor removed all fluid out of my band. I’m looking to get a revision to the sleeve. I start my nutrition appointments tomorrow and have a pyshch evaluation next Monday. They plan to remove the band in January hoping to move through the six months and become sleeved. Excited to begin this journey.
