I paid out of pocket for a tummy tuck and breast lift in 2017. I need my arms and legs done. Has anyone had Blue Cross pay? Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the Gastric Sleeve in 2015 and now my Gerd is alot worse. My surgeon told me last year I could convert to the bypass. I said I was going to think about it. I go for my follow up Monday and I am not sure what to do. Has anyone converted from sleeve to bypass and felt better? Is the recovery easier or the same? My diet is a mess because I am eating things to help the acid that comes up my thoat. I don't know what to do. The medication has side effects and Gerd can cause cancer. Any opinions are appreciated.

Awesome. I wish I could say the same Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am having surgery 6/10. Is there a suggested packing list for the hospital? I had the sleeve in 2015 but I forgot what I brought. Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I would like to lose 60 lbs. I have heard all different things regarding revision and weight loss.

My revision is a week from Monday. Do you expect to lose more weight Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the same thing happen to me. I am hoping for my revision June 10. Severe reflux, a large pouch on the sleeve and a hernia. When I was complaining of the reflux my doctor said it was my fault because I gained weight. I have something sticking out of my stomach and he just said I don't know what it is. Thank God he did an upper GI and Endoscopy and found my problem. Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the Sleeve in 2015. I have been having issues with acid reflux and muscle cramping in my stomach. I was working on each issue separately but I decided to get an upper GI because I have been considering converting to the bypass to fix the reflux. When they did the GI they saw something they didn't recognize. It looks like a half deflated balloon above my stomach. It could be the thing that is coming out of stomach and causing my pain. Does anyone know what this could be? Fixing my reflux may now be on the back burner. Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am getting the bypass, remove a hernia and shave the pouch.

He is converting it to a bypass, remove a hernia and shave the pouch.

Does anyone know how an incomplete staple line on a sleeve is fixed if it has created a pouch and acid reflux. Thanks Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

Get the bypass. I am converting to the bypass because my reflux got worse after the sleeve. Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

Congratulations. Do you think the recovery was easier? Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

The doctor is converting my sleeve to the bypass and shave the pouch. Thank you for the support.

My doctor decided he is going to convert my sleeve to a bypass and shave the pouch. I am going on 5/6 to discuss the surgery.

I need to go back on the 6th to discuss the next step. I had the Endo today and the pouch is too big on one end. He was going to shave it and decided he should do the bypass. Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I just came back from the doctor he is going to covert to the bypass and fix the sleeve pouch.

Good luck on your ultrasound. My friend just had Gallbladder surgery

How do they fix it? Is it another surgery?

I read my report and it says incomplete staple line from the sleeve. It created a pouch. How will they fix it? Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I read my report from my GI and it's an incomplete staple line that created a pouch. How will they fix it? Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I will let you know when I know Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I was ready to leave him. He was such a jerk at my last visit. If he can fix it I will be very grateful. Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app

I have seen 3 doctors and none thought it was a hernia. The doctor that did the GI said he didn't see a hernia either. Something comes out and it causes a severe muscle cramp it is like a charlie horse in my stomach. Sent from my LGLS991 using BariatricPal mobile app
