I know there is a june post op page but it's from 2013 and very hard to go through all of those messages looking for support from people just going through the surgery although we love the veterans and all their wisdom sometimes you just want to talk to your graduating class about how things are going!!! congrats class of 2014 ha ha let's stay in touch here and post questions and answers and support each other im also considering making a facebook page so let me know if that would be something you would enjoy for the group. this page is for sleevers and bypassers and banders of june 2014

you could talk to your program specialist at your surgeons office and ask them what insurances they deal with most and result in covering bariatrics

recovery from revision
bravobentley replied to Leena's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I would say it really just depends on you and your tolerance for pain any surgery is going to hurt and it will take your body from what i have read about a good month to be feeling functional again. some people follow their doctors orders walk a ton and feel good after about two weeks so best thing to do is follow your plan and be strong good luck keep us updated!
