HI there. I am considering a revision form SVG to RNY. What all are you required to do pre-op? You have to do everything before you know if insurance will cover your procedure? DO you have any concerns/reservations?

some questions I have....
-pros and cons?
-what was your diet like in the begining and what is it like now?
-how often do you exercise?
-did you have anyd difficulties?
-can you drink alcoholic beverages (not a big drinker, just curious)?
-did your insurance cover surgery, and if so what did you have to do for them to agree to cover the surgery?
-what has been the hardest part with having LAP-BAND??
Any extra info you would like to offer would be great! THANKS!

Ask away!!! Only way i ever figured thigs out was by asking lots and lots of questions...I pretty much with out a doubt believe this was the best thing i have ever done for myself. Being the age i was it did take me a lil while to realize this was a tool..and that i had to add effort..working out/eating healthier, to actually be successful. Im glad i did it at a younge age..Hope this helps u out..i dont mind questions at all
