Panic time

I am having revision surgery on 4/20. I currently was very successful with vsg. I unfortunately had a ton of issues with reflux, gastroparesis, and esophageal dismotility which is why revision to rny. All approved with insurance and ready to go. I have pre op this Wednesday. I just have this terrible feeling something will go wrong. I have been stuck with all these issues and now I am getting it fixed. I guess I just can't believe it? I have also read all the rny horror stories I can find..

Anyone else freaking out? Anyone want a freak out buddy?

I am here freaking out totally. My revision is Monday! Ready to get rid of this reflux though!


Thinking of you and hope it goes smoothly (all three of you!!) I'm nearly 2 weeks post op from RNY and each day is better than the last.

It is normal to feel nervous.Just take a few deep breaths and try to relax.I had my revision from sleeve to bypass in Nov 2016.I am doing great.I was so nervous too,but well worth it to get rid of my reflux issues and have my Hiatal Hernia repaired again.feel so much better and have lost another 44 lbs so far.You will lose slower but if you need to lose weight you will.All without acid reflux.

Thanks GmaDiana.

im glad your doing well. I know i will be happy when its over. Just the preop and waiting is hard. But I can do this. ?

Revision end of month I [emoji1374]...suppose to submit to insurance this week sometime so fingers-crossed. How long did u wait for approval?


After my paper work was submitted it was denied the first time,because insurance thought it was for weight loss.My Dr.did a Peer to Peer with insurance to make them understand it was due to acid reflux. Didn't take very long at all. Good luck at getting approved.
