Hopefully Tuesday I will have some good news. I have to go in talk with my doctor again and see if he will do me a referral to Dr.Miles even though he is in my insurance network they said I would still have to get a referral from my primary dr yes I qualify for the surgery bc I am 5'8 and 400+ lbs with high blood pressure, diabetic and I think sleep apnea. So hopefully Monday he will approve it for me and I can start my process

I'm in AL. Surgery date was 9/7/15. My insurance wouldn't pay anything on it so I went to Tijuana, Mexico. Best decision I ever made for myself!

I had the sleeve done almost four weeks ago as an emergency surgery when my lapband slipped

How did you know your band had slipped and who did your sleeve. I am having problems with my band and lots of pain.

Update: Having great success with my sleeve down 54lbs as of today!!!!! Having problems getting my Water in and also my Vitamins. Ugh the multi Vitamin does not sit well with my stomach. I take on a full stomach but I need to find another one besides the bariatric Multi-Vitamin. I feel great and cant wait to reach my goal. How is everyone else doing?

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
