Recommended Posts

My doctors office just called to tell me that my insurance approved my revision surgery to gastric bypass. I'm so happy and extremely nervous at the same time. My surgery is set for March 15th. I can't believe it's finally gonna happen. I've been waiting so long to be rid of this horrible band and feel relief pain wise. Anyone else having surgery in March??

I just had my band out, but they are having me wait 3 months to heal. You are having it all at once?

Yes my surgeon does the procedure all in one. I'm super happy about that. Going under is always so scary. I wouldn't wanna do it more than i had to.

Thank you so much. I'm so nervous and I still have 4 weeks to go. Last night I was speaking with my boyfriend and he was encouraging me to just be calm and realize I'm doing this for me and not anyone else. I guess my biggest concern is being put under anesthesia. Last time I had a major freak out on the hospital bed as they wheeled me down the hall to surgery. But the hospital I was at was so amazing and they pushed my tears away and made me feel calm. The staff was truly amazing. I'm hoping this other hospital will be the same.

Just curious what insurance do you have and what were the requirments to get approved for the revision? I had a sleeve done not band and after 5 years Im seeking revision due to weight regain (pregnancy and ither health issues). I'm so afraid my insurance will not approve me. Any advice please is sooo appreciated and congrats to you tomorrow is your BIG DAY!!!

      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!
