My insurance just called to let me know, they have approved my surgery 100%. As far as they ate concerned I can schedule. Just started the process less than a month ago. Still have a couple classes this month. Humana is amazing!!!!! getting my band 4 years ago took 6 months Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

Got my band 2-2014. April 2015, saw my surgeon after alot of reflux, vomiting. He did an upper an upper GI and just said, it needed to be loosened and that was just as tight as I could tolerate. After 10 months of being hungry, gaining weight, reflux. I decided to go back and see the nurse practitioner. She did an upper GI. the next day. Saw her right after. She said it had to come out. My stomach and esphogas was "still" distended. So I spent 10 months like that. Not sure if this is permanent damage. I go tomorrow to start my 3 month diet trial which I think is ridiculous, but I have to do in order to have conversion to a sleeve. So frustrating! ! Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I have had my band 4 years. It is malfunctioned and must come out. I am converting to sleeve and yes you follow all the same guidelines. I didn't see why I needed to do a diet trial. Nurse practitioner agreed and has counted a visit with her as #1, went to a class last week #2. Tomorrow is #3. My final appointment is 3-22. Next step will be surgery date.

I have to convert from band to sleeve. It does not make sense to me to have to do a 3 month diet trial. Does everyone have to do this?? Sent from my SM-N910V using the BariatricPal App

I have had a band 4 years. It messed up 10 months ago and I have went back to alot of my compulsive eating. Gained 20+pounds. I have to say the band did help me. You simply cant eat alot and as soon as the weight starts coming off, you just want to keep goung because you realize how much better you feel. This is why I am so excited to get my sleeve in April Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App

So glad it worked out Sent from my SM-G900P using the BariatricPal App
