I am having surgery and I am in NJ having surgery at a hospital "Center of Excellence "Dr.Neff

This is why I am going for a revision from lapband which is pure misery to bypass.I definitely will not be sitting in the group of 3x is a WLS charm.I have developed so many issues thanks to lapband which is a failure and has done its share of damage...I can't afford to cut 85% of my stomach.no way... I am getting a revision to bypAss December 28.Cant wait to start my new successful journey...

Yay! So happy for you!

So yes delay until New Year.typical scumbag move on their behalf.

Yep..when you are scheduling your appointments,dr visits and tests and observations and referrals you will find that time goes by fast.These insurance companies make you jump through hoops.If I had the money I would just self pay...I spent 6 months starting from scratch for this revision.Finally approved.

Avocado...softened into guacamole and canned sardines

My band has flipped....it really messed me up...that is also why I refuse to let anyone cut out 85% of my stomach....no way

I am revising to RNY because this band is misery....My friend who doesn't know I have the lapband just got the sleeve and she is doing the same thing...slime,vomit and heave....I did my research and I am revising to bypass...

Lapbands should be stopped completely.

I see more sleeve to bypass revisions....nnever bypass to sleeve....

I love people who say they are getting the lapband or sleeve because it's less invasive.GIVE ME A BREAK!!! I was one of those people back in 2004 when I got the lapband...it was my choice. Etween lapband and bypass..."I chose to go with "the less invasive""""please vomiting ,sliming,slipping,eroding...damage to my esophagus plus I am back fat as all get out"!!!Having long needles injected through a port...I have developed all kinds of issues....damage to my stomach,pouch and esophagus....The "sleeve "is now the new flavor of the moment procedure....Cuuting out 85% of your stomach is very invasive if you ask me.

Dont tell him!

I am ordering Bari-melts vitamins...

Love it!!!

Dec 28 for me""also can't wait..,not nervous,just excited after all the hoops and protocol.

Women are so freakin catty...wait until you lose more...hah..the joke will be in her!

1 week...surgery Dec 28... Back in office January 4

At the rate you ate losing...this will be a non issue.The beautiful part is you are still the same person at 300 pounds or 190 pounds and people need to be enlightened in regards to their stupidity.

Keep at it...start over...time will go fast...think of it as Now is the start...book your appointments now

Revision surgery scheduled for Dec 28!!!!!!!

Nutria Ninjas are fantastic!

Sounds like your doctor's office is not on top of it as you think.Missing codes or a request for more information is sometimes required.Call or go visit the dr office and speak with the administrator.Let her make a call to the insurance company while you wait in office....I had to be relentless...I kept on everyone's butt...

Go to the ER

Brilliant
