Doing my 1st week of 6 month supervised diet.. Not self paying for surgery this time, Insurance is covering the surgery after I meet the last and final requirement of a 6 month diet. Hopefully the time will pass quickly. so far so good!

@@ojibway, this is good news.

Please provide some info, as I've gotten the impression that most medical plans don't pay or a second WLS. I'm banded and may have to have my band removed, in which case I'd like sleeve. What was your first surgery and, if you weren't covered then, what is different now? What makes a revision necessary? I realize you may have been without coverage at the time of your first WLS, which may or may not invalidate my questions. Thanks.

Sorry I should've been more concise, I was scheduled for Surgery in Jan, 2015 (self-pay) and backed out last minute, tried losing weight on my own, not much success. Re-scheduled surgery Nov 2015 (again self pay) then found out our insurance was going to cover Bariatric Surgery in 2016. I have all my tests and requirements completed for them to approve surgery except the 6 month supervised diet.. sorry

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
