I just spoke to someone at Aetna . They denied my request for revision to gastric bypass due to the fact that I didn't follow up for the full 2 years after my surgery. Yes we did appeal. Anyone in the same boat. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What exactly did you do . I'm shooting for 3 month. As far as exercise was was acceptable documentation ? No net gain but what happens if you loose weight during the 3 month period ? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi. I had the gastric sleeve 3 years ago with minimal success. I'm planning on getting the gastric bypass. I live in Huntsville Alabama. Any suggestions on a surgeon in that area? A friend suggested a Dr Champion in Georgia in the Atlanta area. Any thoughts? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have an appointment at 230. I was thinking of getting the bypass. I think I've changed my mind. What made you choose the sips procedure

What kind of diet are the sips people on

I was originally denied the revision to the sips but my doc talked to the doc at aetna and approved it after I go through the 3 month follow up with a nutritionist like I did when I was sleeved.

On another weightloss board they have a thread that has a very militant member bashing sips. Did your doc say he was doing the sips? That person on the other board says there are drs saying they are doing the DS and are really doing the sips procedure. Where did u have yours done?

Wow . I was leery about the procedure. I'm glad it's doing well for you. How much weight did you have to lose?

I'm considering the surgery . I'm concerned with gastric issues such as diarrhea and gas. In a nurse and work long hours . I'm trying to decide if this will effect my work?

I had a gastric sleeve 2 years ago with minimal sucess. My surgeon is pushing me to have the SIPS procedure. Anyone out there with experience with this surgery?
