Revision from Lapband



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if you have to go through the whole process again, if you are going to get a revision?

I didn't have to go through the long waiting period or losing weight, etc. Ins Co approved in 2 weeks.

I am in the process of going through the entire thing all over. I have two more visits with my Dr and I am ready to go. Hoping for early November

I didn't have to do anything.. But I was low bmi and self pay. So not sure if those were the reasons.

Maybe. I was self pay for lapband but still had to do NUT & Psych. Perhaps the sic feels everything is a-ok!

I was also self pay for my band. I went to a new surgeon to see about revising due to band issues, but initially the surgeon was trying to tell me I was just making bad food choices and was trying to get me back on track. After several months of no weight loss and lots of pain under my breastbone and both ribs, he decided to do testing. My gallbladder was fine and I had no swallowing issues per the UGI. After the EGD, it was determined my band definitely needed removal.

I have to get a psych evaluation per insurance requirements. I have already had two nut visits. Praying for a quick answer of APPROVED :)

I wish you all the best.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
