  7. @@t_marie I had the band for 5 years with many issues. I originally lost 80lbs, but gained back 55lbs from them having to keep taking Fluid out. But I had issues with that dang thing since day 1. But I finally had mine taken out in November 2015 and revised to RNY. I'm so glad I had that horrid band removed!!

  16. It was something my surgeon requested. Because he said he knew that if we appealed it, it would just get denied again. He felt our best option for approval was with a peer to peer review. Don't give up! And find you a doctor that will fight for you!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
  17. @@redhed - After my denial, my surgeon skipped the appeal process and requested a peer-to-peer review immediately. It took about 1.5 weeks for the review to take place. But he got an approval from that. He got the answer the next morning actually, and I had surgery a month later. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

  21. @@Coles85 We're only a few days apart! I just had a revision from Band to RNY this past Monday, Nov. 30. They wanted me to try 4oz of a protein shake last night, which made me a little nauseated. I even used unsweetened almond milk, and took 1.5 hours to drink it all. Maybe my body isn't quite ready to advance yet! How are you feeling? I was feeling AWFUL the day after surgery and was wondering what I got myself into! But the pain has not been that bad really. And I haven't really had any hunger, besides head hunger when I see Taco Bell on a commercial lol
