My BMI < 35.00 banded four years ago. Always had problems(swallowing, acid reflux, etc) now have hiatal hernia. Have AvMed in Florida. I would like to do a lap band revision to sleeve but do not think it is possible with insurance requirements. PLEASE HELP VERY DESPERATE. Worst case scenario cannot even have it removed need BMI>35.00 What a joke!

I just found out my pre-authorization for a revision; lap band to sleeve has been denied. I am now appealing the decision. I am also looking into surgery in Mexico has I can't self-pay in the US.

Going for my revision to bypass tomorrow. Feeling a little nervous but also laidback at the same time. Pre-op diet was different to what I did three years ago, but I guess there is no one right way to do things. Here’s hoping all goes well!

I had LapBand surgery in 2004. I lost 100 lbs. maintained weight successfully, but I vomit a lot, regurgitate and I have severe acid reflux. If I loosen the band, I don't have the issues, but I gain weight. I have been thinking about revision surgery from LapBand to mini gastric band. I am trying to find out how that would work.

I'm having my revision surgery December 22. The band didn't work for me it filled inside of me causing me to be unable to be filled without X-rays. They tried filling it by ultrasound but that didn't work. I haven't been filled in 3yrs. My doctor told me it was going have to be removed and replaced and I just decided to have it removed but opted for the sleeve. I was so scared that I was going to have to go through the process again but after the insurance company got my file and see I have went to 3 Doctors and they all said the same thing I was approved Asap my original date was October 26th but I pushed it back to December since by working for the schools I will be off anyway. My process started September 16th and I'm so excited for this new lifestyle change.

Hi I'm Sam, currently 7 seven years out of VSG and looking into revision due to weight gain.
I'll be the first to say I lived life a little too hard and am looking for a second chance at a healthier life.

Looking for information from anyone whom had a band revision to sleeve or bypass. Which is preferred if I have the option? Surgeon's office recommends bypass for my BMI (55) and tendency for reflux.
I was banded 10yrs ago, had an initial weight loss of 70lbs, loved it...until lost insurance coverage and was unable to afford $250-500 per fill to find the sweet spot again. Have had vomiting directly after eating practically anything solid, no matter how small an amount or how well chewed.

I just had a revision and another hernia repair on sept 7. Starting weight 172. I think it's going to work now.

Had my revision gastric bypass surgery May 29th but now I'm soooooo second guessing myself not that I can go back or anything. I'm just so scared of the aftermath. 5 days out I'm really having a hard time getting my liquids in. I'm breaking my head thinking of what I can eat on my puree diet. I think maybe I'm just being to hard on myself. Just needed to vent. Any advise will help. TIA

Pinterest - bypass puree stage - its a nice resource and helps distract you from going in circles inside your head.

I loved the pre-made soups at Target. The ones I liked are in cartons on the soup aisle. They're very good. I liked the roasted red pepper and the butternut squash. It was nice to have some savory things to eat.

It gets better. I was at my wits end by the end of the 1st week of purees. Just stick with it and once you start getting cleared for soft, solids and then finally raw foods, it makes the struggle that much more tolerable. *IT WILL GET BETTER*!
