The more I read other band experiences, the more I know my experience was not typical. It took me a year to lose 25 lbs and my surgeon yelled at me that I was screwing up his metrics and wasn't trying. I never went back and regained almost all of my pre-op and post-op weight.
I hope the sleeve works better for me.

I wonder if BCBS Anthem (TX) will cover me for a revision from lapband to sleeve. I'm having pain in my port area. Although my band did nothing for 5 years, I joined OA 3 years ago and lost 80 lbs. My BMI is just under 35 and I still need to lose 65 lbs. Is it as hard to qualify for a revision? BCBS may only pay to remove band. I see the surgeon 8/5.
