Early Christmas Present, I just got approved for revision surgery!



Recommended Posts

So Merry Christmas and Thank you Jesus for the miracle of beign approved for revision lapband to sleeve surgery!!

It has been along road being told no unless i come up with a 5 year food diary for everything i put in my mouth. Yes, they really demanded that journal. It wasnt what i put in my mouth that was the problem it was the faulty lapband and being to tight, then leaking and all the hoops I had to jump. The slap in the face was the unfair treatment of my old dr blaming me and not admitting that my band was bad. Thank God I went to another doctor out of network who is a pioneer in his field. So now I am on the right road to beign healthy and happy!

"Merry Christmas"

Congrats. My band stopped working too. I had 2 port replacements, and finally a slip. I got it out in April 13, and got my sleeve 2 weeks ago. The sleeve is sooooooooooo much better than the band. You will be thrilled with the difference. It's a lot of hard work, but worth it.

That is a fabulous Christmas gift! I had a band for 2 years then had it removed; sleeve surgery was two months ago & I love it! Feel so much better and I have lost almost as much weight in the 2 months since sleeve surgery as I did in two years with the band so I know you are going to do great :) Congratulations & Merry Christmas!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
