Bypass, I am going through alot of problems due to the sleeve. They are revising me to the bypass due to reflux and the hiatal hernia I got from the sleeve. My SD is October 15th, I just got my clearance from my physician on Friday. Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

Ok, so I went through all the months of nutrition classes, blood work, stress test, EKG, and x-rays. I am revising from the sleeve to the bypass because of really bad acid reflux and a hiatal hernia. After Aetna kept giving me trouble I was losing all hope of getting approved. Yes, after all the work I did they said my appeal was DENIED! However, I received a letter in the mail on Friday that ordered Aetna to approve my surgery within 72 hours. Medicare had stepped in and said basically that Aetna is my fiduciary in the medical insurance and they are responsible for keeping me healthy. Due to the fact that bypass is proven to stop reflux Medicare overturned their decision and I am now on my way to getting a surgery date. I am praying that above all other things the bypass is good for that it just relieves my acid reflux and helps me loose another few pounds. I had my sleeve June of 2016 and I'm still doing good. I've gained about 25 lbs. back so I hope it helps me lose and I'm positive it will, but haha to Aetna and don't let these insurance companies dictate what happens with you're health. Stay vigilant and keep pressing forward to your weight loss goals. Thanks for listening. [emoji171] Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

I know there is a lot of people that have had this revision, can anyone let me know what to expect. I did the sleeve surgery with ease, I struggled after like every else does but it was worth it. Just wondering what foods will irritate me and how much I'll be able to eat because I heard they make the pouch even smaller, is this true? Sent from my N9560 using BariatricPal mobile app

I had the sleeve in June of 2016 and it still works to this day. I have severe gerd and I also have a hiatal hernia which is why I am doing the revision. My date is October 15th. Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm having the revision from the sleeve to the bypass due to serious reflux and a hiatal hernia. I had the sleeve 3 years ago and I still have restrictions on how much I can eat so it's still working very well but the bypass does help you lose a little more weight so if I lose another 20 pounds I'll be happy. My surgery date is on Oct 15th. Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

Can anyone tell me your experiences revising from the sleeve to the bypass? I'm hoping it will relieve my acid reflux, but I've heard it doesn't work. Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

Finally, my surgery date is October 15th. I have to get a few tests done over because they were due again due to timing but finally my revision is going to get done. I'm praying for no more acid reflux. Keep you posted! Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

Just excuse yourself to the restroom, why smell up everyone's day? Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

Great explanation! Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

I think my doctor's office dropped the ball also. They screwed up the peer to peer conference and said they filed an appeal. Aetna says they weren't available for conference and they never did the peer to peer. They never even returned my phone calls. Finally I got pissed and went in there but it didn't help. I had the sleeve 3 years ago and that dr. was always on top of everything so I assumed that would be the case here. Not even close. I'm glad I kept on top of stuff, but getting approved by Medicare was a Godsend because I definitely prayed for it and that's when I got my approval. Thank you God for your devine intervention [emoji173] Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

I no longer care for any kind of meat, bacon, pork. I may be able to take a few bites if its cooked outside because the smell makes me want to throw up. Chicken seems to be ok but even after 3 years i can only eat 2 chicken wings at the most. Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app

Keep some sf jello at hand always, also try to get more liquid in during the day. It helps me keep my mind off of food because sometimes you're just dehydrated. SF Jello helps with the binge issue has no calories, and helps with dehydration. Its a win win snack! Sent from my SM-J337P using BariatricPal mobile app
