  1. It really depends on your insurance policy coverage you can call them directly to see if you have additional out pocket fee for bariactric surgery. My surgeon didnt have any program fee and info seminar is free. I didnt pay anything out pocket for surgery or office, pysch or nut visits.

    Favorite Greek Yogurt

    Trader Joes or Fage 2% plain greek yougurt. Usually add strawberries or light drizzle of honey. 1 cup is 170 calories, 6g sugar 23g protien. After bypass 1/2 c gets me full.

    Approved for Wrong Surgery

    Thanks everyone for you support. So I got the email with all my preop appointments/diet and surgery is updated to bypass. I am excited to begin but also very nervous.
  6. I had the lapband Nov 2009 . My SW was 242 the lowest weight I got with the band was 218. The band gave me problems , it was difficut to swallow lean meat and I had awful reflux. I became pregnant May 2013 my weight was 230. After pregnancy, I was back at 242 and had to have all the Fluid removed from my band because the reflux was unbearable and I couldnt eat solid eat without vomiting. After the band had no restriction I gained 10 pounds in 1 month. So I decided to inquire about revision. I had revision consult June . The doctor gave option of sleeve or bypass and explained both thoroughly and could decide later. My insurance required 6 month diet and nut . So my appointent were all set with PA and each time we talked about bypass. So today I get call from the surgery coordinator I was approved for revision but already knew because my authorization arrived in mail over the weekend. We set surgery for Jan 22 and set up pre op appt. I wanted to verify the authorization included bypass because it only had band removal as the procedure. She said your approved for band removal and gastric sleeve. Excuse me No. I selected bypass. "Did you change from sleeve to bypass " No I always wanted bypass .She kept all the date set saying the qualification are the same and she willl resubmit for bypass. Just nervous this could prolong my surgery. Anyone had this issue.
