Approved BCBS of NJ

Wow a week and a day and I'm approved for my revision! I had the sleeve done on 12/16/12 and I'm going for bypass on 8/18/14, due to gerd and a stretched sleeve. My weight lose was around 40 lbs with the sleeve and I've actually gained 15 of it. I started off at 239 post op, current weight 206, lowest weight since sleeve 189 (for about a day).

I was sleeved july 29,2013 and I am almost the exact same as you. I haven't seen my surgeon yet but I have never felt restriction. I don't know about the gerd but I have reflux (I always have) & I have to take two prilosec otc a day. I'm honestly so embarrest because my lowest weight was 187 in December and now I fluctuate between 198-203. My highest weight was 231 July 3,2013.

Omg me too! Totally embarrassed! I didn't tell many people and the lens I did have been are still are very supportive! But yea, in my head I'm like, wow you cut off most of your tummy and you aren't at a healthy weight. I have no restriction what so ever! Not to mention in always hungry. My doc believes I had to issues with revision approval bc I've never missed an appt for follow ups and I've been given approval from my nut and psychic clearance.

I personally know I need the restriction. I am an over eater and I binge eat.

I only want to get to 150, but trying to get there from 206 is like trying to lose weight before the sleeve.

Also, I have bad acid reflux. I did have an upper GI which showed the damage from the acid and stretched sleeve.

I have to wait until aug. 15 to see my doctor. I'm worried. Like you, I would love to make it to 150. I could easily guzzel 32oz of water or eat a large pizza and I don't think it would come back up.( Sorry if that's TMI ) but I just don't have the restriction. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to go around throwing up all the time but dang! ????

Never too much TMI! Ok i can't eat a pizza but I can have 2 slices be full as hell and eat another one on less than an hour. I really hope this works, who has a sleeve and gastric bypass in two years and can't lose weight? Ughhh better not be this girl.
