Myjourneyagain yeah thats what i was told i would be in there too with a revision 4 days. Good to hear what others are experiencing. Im getting really nervous now. Ugh

Myjourneyagain How long were u in the hospital?

Im right behind you with my revision from band to bypass on June 23...next tuesday! You are making me feel so much better. Thanks so much for posting. I feel like taking out this band is going to give me so much more pain. Anyways ill be following your journey. Please keep us updated

Im June 23 and started the pre op diet. Just trying to stay busy ...im do excited though too...getting very nervous

Keep us updated carebear. Prayer for u

Surgeon is going on vacation the 4th and he wanted to be sure to be here if there were complications.

Ive never had a catheter i hope they insert that when im out ugh...or u talking about the drainage line?

I was suppose to be today also but now Im june 23. Everything happens for a reason. Right? Ugh

Im june 23. Band to bypass revision. Sooo excited but cant wait to get rid of this band so i can get a good nights sleep again. Reflux sucks

Im gonna ask my surgeon now what his standards are for pain relief. I refuse to be miserable if there is no reason to be.

Sparkleshark i have aetna as well. No diet. Took about a month to get approval

Prayers to u....just think u will be all recovered by the time i go on the 23rd

I am June 23 I need a buddy

Lexiemia I am having revision from band to bypass. I have huge reflux issues so bypass is best for me. Although i would have chosen it anyways.

About 4 months for me. The longest was the one month wait for the approval. Why does it take so long i have no clue. It should be 24 hours. Anyways June 23rd is my revision to bypass day

I was approved for one night as as well and im having a revision. Doc says i might be there 4 days. They said not to worry about the one day approval. It is standard that the give one day. They will just call and have it extended if need be.

I am so envious u guys are band free! Ugh June 23 cannot get here fast enough. So glad that it wasnt so rough for u. You are a great inspiration. Happy healing

My date was pushed back to June 23...doc is going on vacation on the 4th and wants to be sure he is there in case of complications. I actually need more time to get ready so its all good.

Surgery scheduled June 2. Now i am nervous

Relieved, excited, nervous and a little overwelmed with thinking all the things i gotta get lined up before surgery. Like getting someone to mow the lawn for a few weeks. Things like that. I have a friend at work that had his at least 6 years ago and he is doing great kept most the weight off. Its great to have inspiration and sites like this for support

Thank you cute1. I am having a revision from the lapband to the bypass. I have had way to many issues with the band for the 13 years i have had it. My reflux is the worst part. I think i had an easier time getting approved because it is deemed necessary.

I just heard that I received approval for my revision surgery through Aetna. It will be covered 90% as well. Soo excited for another chance and to be rid of this awful reflux. Im hoping for surgery the beginning of June. This Xmas i hope to have a new me this year.

Thats fabulous

Any time u think of cheating just picture ur surgery taking place and how much easier it will be for ur surgeon if u stick with it.

Im in the same boat. I feel like if i didnt call and check up nothing would get done. Ive been through this before with the band as well. I believe it is just too many patients. Meh...it is what it is. Keep going to bat for yourself...eventually we will hit a home run.
