Charger Headphones (for whiteniise to drown out noise of nurses, roomate etc... Snacks..hahaha. Jk. We WONT be needing snacks No slip socks/ house shoes Heating pad Everyone join in so we get more ideas!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I know. I cried for two days but finally accepted that its not in my control and ill suck it up. The dr office is negotiating a lower rate for anesthesia and facility so its looking better than full price!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

At first i was upset cuz now i have to pay $14,500 for the sleeve revision in the same surgery. Shouldnt there be somewhat of a discount since im already under anesthesia and ins is covering that? Anyway. Trying to see it as glass half full. Paying will give me more of an incentive to follow the rules and be successful since im investing hard earned money. Potential July 18th surgery date!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Im getting revision from band to sleeve this month so i love this question and cant wait to see answers. Super excited! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery is tentatively set for the 18th but trying to get sooner!!!!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hope you start feeling better soon. I think the anesthesia makes us super emotional immediately after surgery. It will wear off! I was like that after my lapband many years ago. After a few days it will b better. Hang in there and so excited you made It to the loser bench!!!!! Woowoooo. Ready for a brand new life. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Best of luck to all tomorrow. Super super exciting. I CANT WAIT. see yall on the other side. Woowoooo Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey guys. I am new to the forum. I had my band in 2006 and initially had great success. I went from 185 to 130 but then started vomiting. They loosened the band completely and I have gained most of my weight back and am miserable. Recently started having bad pain behind my sternum. Had an endo done last Friday and I have a class C Esophageal erosion (class d is the worst). He sent me to his bariatric surgeon friend who I am seeing tomorrow. He suggested the band be removed since it is causing me to vomit daily (thus eroding my esophagus). I want to talk to the surgeon about revising band to sleeve and I am so excited for that possibility....and I am soooo ready to stop throwing up daily. Im hoping the surgeon will agree, that insurance will cover it ( I have Aetna) and that he can get me in for surgery next week!!! I'm overly optimistic and hoping I am not let down. Is revision surgery from band removal to sleeve much more complicated and more expensive? And could everyone who has had it share their stories???? thanks so much and I was soooo happy to find this forum. FINGERS CROSSED FOR TOMORROW. So tired of hurting and being exhausted from dehydration. ready for a new me!!!!

Thats so true. Thank you for the reply Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Should be sleeved in the next week or two. Couldnt be more excited. Im so so ready for a normal life. Ready to get rid of the daily vomiting. Ready to take full body pics instead of saying only from the neck up. Ready to be IN pics with my family i stead of emsuring im the one taking the pics so i dont have to be seen on fb. Ready to go to HS reunions amd not hide when i visit my old hometown and be stressed ill b seen. Ready for a new normal!!!!! ❤️ Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
