I received the call yesterday that my revision from band to DS is approved. I'm completely shocked as I thought it would be a battle for approval since my band took two appeals to get approval.

I also keep waiting for them to call me back and say oops, that was another patients approval. It happened so fast. I got an email Tuesday saying that they were going to submit then by Friday got the approval.

Can it be real?

Congratulations!!! Yay May I ask you something? I don't remember if I have talked to you before but with your band did you have problems that lead you to the revision?

Excellent news! I went from band to sleeve and have had fantastic results. Band to DS should yield even greater results. Best of luck on your journey to being the you that you deserve!!

I didn't have any mechanical problems with my band. (I.e. No slippage or erosion) I did great the first year til my gallbladder had fits and had to be removed. Never could get back into the green zone after that and basically regained everything.
