Cindra25

Hi does anyone have any regrets having a sleeve after having the band removed? I want to have the sleeve but I am so uncertain and still trying to research everything. My band had to be removed because of problems.

Only I didn't know about it first. I have eaten APPLES!!! I didn't know for the last 9 years that I like apples. I do have problems with chocolate milk my favorite drink. It gives me dumping.

Anybody have dumping syndrome? What is it, why and what happens? I have the LapBand and I'm going to get the sleeve, but I have seen people talk about dumping syndrome. I have had enough choking and gagging and vomiting to last me a lifetime with the band.

What insurance do you have? I have Cigna- just completed their 3 month requirement , will be eligible to submit on jan 5th and then have to wait

Right now I am poor and have Meridian a Michigan Medicaid provider. Their policy is one weightloss surgery per lifetime even if they didn't do it to begin with.

do you have that allowed for the new surgery!!!!! Right now my insurance will not pay for it. My husband has gotten a new job and we will be getting new insurance. Advise needed for picking a company please.

I would be intrested as my current insurance says one weight loss surgery per lifetime even though they didn't pay for the first!!! So I have a screwed up divise in me that can't get tighted, has prolapsed and is slipping around and the port has turned almost sideways.

Call the lactatation specialist at your hospital where you gave birth. Mine said there is no need to pump and dump. My baby drank my milk right after the major surgery of cutting him out of me!!
