    Horizon NJ Health, 12 month wait?

    I had my lapband 11 years ago in NYC.Fast forward I have Horizon NJ Health and had to find a dr that takes this plan.I went to Goldstein because I want to get this horrific band out..At first I wanted the sleeve and saw on his impressive site that he performed revision from band to sleeve.Waited weeks to get an appointment..He was lackluster and not very engaged...and his assistant is an unorganized lazy dingbat.I changed to another dr in the practice and He performs all surgeries as well as revision from band to bypass...His assistant is much more efficient and I am a bit more satisfied.The NUT is wonderful and I am trying to go through all testing in order to get approved. Yes I am with Neff...,very happy I made the change.....

    from lap band to bypass,,anyone?

    I just came out of surgery a few hours ago and they couldn't do the bypass for me because my band eroded my stomach and my organs were swollen and smashed together. Yay me.this band was the worst decision ever. I basically did all this testing and went through surgery and that terrible preop diet and paid all It's a shame that we can't file lawsuits.The band is defective.

    from lap band to bypass,,anyone?

    After 14 miserable and unsuccessful years with the lapband I am going for revision to bypass.I had to start all over again....now I just have sleep apnea and PSYCH evaluation.Sleep apnea may delay me a bit but almost ready for all my papers to be submitted for insurance approval. I should of went with the bypass day one...

    Reflux sucks

    Because of my insane battle with GERD and other issues as it relates to the band I am now opting for a revision to bypass .I was going for the sleeve but will now go with bypass.

    Sleep Apnea?

    I am scheduled for my in hospital sleep study on Halloween...can't wait to see the results.I was so busy trying to take all the necessary steps for revision from lapband to bypass that I had no time to really think"When as the last time I had a sound night of sleep?
  13. Yes RaDiva you are on your way...Congratulations.
  14. Sleep anemia test and Psych evaluation then my paperwork will be submitted.
  15. I have suffered with this band for 15 years..on my way to bypass.yahoo!!!!
  16. It's all so confusing.What is the longterm success of the sleeve vs bypass truthfully?Which one is more effective longterm honestly?
  17. Same here...lapband makes you obsessive because at times you can handle foods other times a vomit fest.As I told the NUT.It doesn't matter what you say to me regarding a meal plan because sometimes I can have a salad or a boil egg,next time I will barf.You never know....and I become so hungry!
  18. I wanted a mastectomy...insurance only paid for lumpectomy...ugh
  19. Pinkgirl1234

    I'm just not hungry!

    You gotta get protein!!!Be careful...drink fluids...protein will keep u ok.
  20. It will get better.My friend who had the sleeve I July had the same problem .She was literary sucking on peppermint candies because it was that bad..,,then it got better...,much better... Sugarfree hard candy.

    Official November Bypass thread

    The gallbladder is nothing to play with...you have to get it removed if you are having problems.Mine was so bad it collapsed when he was removing it.The stones wear hard and bilious.The lapband is a contributor...I am sure.
  22. Need insightful thoughts.A revision is a big deal.Lapband out.....Sleeve or RNY
