Well after being denied and appealing the surgery and waiting 7 weeks for a surgery date which is 3/18, I believe they are canceling my revision due to the virus. Because it’s elective. 
I hope I’m wrong. I am in so much pain from the heartburn. I’ve been on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. 
I’m so upset.

Just ordered that last night lol

Vitamins, after bypass..
Suggestions please - I had regular gummies since last year, took Flinstones right after my sleeve in 2015.
Now getting a revision next week, want to make sure I have a good Vitamin on hand for when I get home.
Thanks

Thanks

so, they denied me the day before pre surgical testing!! I'm so angry!

Yes. That’s what I’ve heard. I just hope they the approve. When he said to me today don’t get your hopes up I’m second guessing the approval now.
I was fine and knew they would approve. The insurance they is, I called. When he said you never came back. Huh. Why would I. I was fine. lol

Not dramatic at all!!!
I agree with you. I wonder why GERD is a big deal. I would have even done bypass instead of sleeve in the beginning.

Me too. Years out from sleeve.
Did well BUT now horrendous GERD.
march 18 is penciled. I wish it was sooner.

If your surgeon has said 2 weeks liquid then you do 2 weeks liquid. They are the one that is responsible for keeping you alive , following the instructions they have given you should be a no brainer

I dont think shes afraid of me dying. I asked her why she was against it and the only thing she could say was she doesnt want to have to deal with me eating weird food? Honestly if that's really her reason then I'll divorce her myself

I think she's more than likely worried you'll get fit and healthy and confident and realize you don't deserve her crap anymore lol she's insecure mate

so, they denied me the day before pre surgical testing!! I'm so angry!

me too - had gastro endo another swallowing test, etc... they're ridiculous - they are also stating I didn't maintain loss for 2 years.... they are missing the point

I hope so, on hold with insurance now.... pathetic, its gastro related due to sleeve and they want more clinical visits and a nutritionist again.... I think someone dropped the ball on this one

Just found out that I was denied revision due to GERD, the day before pre surgical testing tomorrow!
I'm sooooo angry!! 6 weeks, I've waited and this is what they do!!?

AGREED!!! I had it many years, along with my pregnancies too!! It came and went - never big issue - then little before surgery I was getting it - put on PPI's and kept on them till after surgery - I'm still on them all these years and it just never goes away - so now I'm up to 2 RX pills per day - protonix as well as Prevacid at night time until surgery - just to try and keep it at bay.. I've tried ACV too - seemed to help a little, as a natural thing - I've tried all different things and end up back on PPIs and I just turned 52, I do not want to take 2 pills per day for another 30-40 years, God willing.. It's horrendous being on vacation and having to not go anywhere, cause my chest is killing me... I've had so many work ups and it comes back to the belly/sleeve issue - I also need a umbilical hernia repaired and they won't do it right now, but possibly do it within the revision surgery, surgeon said. They don't want to do it and repair it if I'm not getting the revision, due to weight gain, etc... so I think they're thinking to do it at one time and then I have a better chance of the hernia not coming back .... One can hope!

Yes. That’s what I was told and have heard. I asked the doctor, I saw last week (my surgeon is on maternity leave!) and he said it’s very minimal that it causes cancer. I know I cannot live everyday, all day, with this heartburn! And the vomitting at night time, half the time anyways.
I def want to get rid of this. Had heartburn prior to sleeve and in my 20s but not like this. Can’t live the rest of life like it. Wow. I’ve been on PPIs for a while now. Years even before surgery. Went away and back now with a vengeance. I hope this coordinator is wrong when he says “don’t get your hopes up”

Awesome. I’m so jealous lol
I hope they approve it. Penciled in for March 18. If all goes well.

How long ago did you have the sleeve surgery?

RNY is the only currently done weight loss surgery that usually (not always - but usually) improves - if not outright cures - GERD.

1000s of posts on revisions

I agree, I'm more worried now about surgery.. I was fine up till they set the date, now i'm a worry-wart!

I will look for this one... thanks!
