Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has had BCBS of New England and gotten approved for the lapband revision to gastric sleeve.
I've had my band for 6 months now I have lost no weight i've had fill after fill I feel terrible I'm getting acid reflux at night and I'm getting things stuck left and right. I go see a new surgeon on the 28th and I'm hoping he can help me out my old surgeon only did the band and he made me feel bad about myseflt the last time I saw him because I gained 5 lbs.
I don't like the way the band makes me feel and I can feel the port all the time it really sucks. I wish I had know about the sleeve before the band because I would have gotten that instead.
Keeping my fingers crossed that this new surgeon will be able to help me out
thanks
