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!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
