I had the gastric sleeve surgery in February of 2018. I lost 100lbs and was feeling wonderful. I got pregnant with my son in June of 2019 and gained about 55lbs and cannot for the life of me lose the weight.
I reached out to my surgeon as at the time of my surgery he told me to "get the sleeve because it is more safe if I plan on getting pregnant" and if I wasn't happy with the results after my pregnancy I could "always come back and get bypass". Well I reached out to my surgeon after about a year of me doing multiple failed diets and said I wanted to make an appointment for a revision surgery. My surgeon then responded with "You have the tool you need to work it". That was that, I feel very discouraged however, am looking into a different surgeon in another town.
I guess my real question here is: Has anyone else had to deal had a hard time being approved for revision?? Did your surgeons frown upon it? Is it possible they will turn me down for surgery because I previously had the sleeve already?
If you made it this far, thank you for reading my rant!

Thank you!! I'm definitely getting a second opinion and hope my insurance will approve the surgery!
