Why do you have to wear a girdle? @nopeace83

@@sleevechick2014 I'm feeling good. One of my incisions by my navel is still very sore. I went to work this Monday and Tuesday but it was too much, so I took off for the rest if the week.

I had my sleeve done on November 24. Just had my one week post surgery appointment. I am down 15 pounds from the start of pre-op diet and 10 pounds down from the day of surgery.

My surgery went well. I'm staying over night.

I'm going to be sleeved November 24 at 11:30. I'm super excited

I'm due at the hospital at 9:30. Surgery at 11:30. I'm ready for this band to come out.

I am currently a bander. I was banded on October 29, 2012. I have had the lap band for two years and have had problems ever since. I am constantly vomiting and having to be filled and unfilled on a biweekly basis. Over the past four months I have discussed with my surgeon about having the lapband revised to the gastric sleeve. We have tried to work with the lapband but continued to have no success with eating food daily. I have received my forms for preop screening and preop diet. Today November 5, 2014 my surgeon has submitted documentation to BCBS of Maryland for preauthorization. I am keeping my fingers crossed that I will be approved for the revision to the gastric sleeve. i'm wondering if all the documentation submitted about my complications with the band and my meetings with the dietitian will qualify me to have my lap band revised in the gastric sleeve? How long did it take everyone to be approved by your insurance company? What if any documentation was required from your surgeons to qualify you for a revision?

@@Wtloss Do you feel well enough to go to work
