Any advice from others that have had a revision my original surgery was in 2006? Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

Went pretty well. I'm on full liquids now and can eat about 1/4 cup of soup at each meal. I know a lot of people say revision wasn't as successful as original procedure but I feel like I can't eat much less than I could with the original.

My doctor call me and is sending my case as urgent to insurance due to stomach pains I've been having and an egd positive for Barrett's Esophagus. I didn't have it before my original surgery. Anyone ever been is this type of situation? Will this expedite the approval process? I have blue shield of california insurance. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thank you many people have been judgemental since 1st surgery wasn't successful so haven't been on here much. I do take responsibility for the 1st surgery not working but i also was not given any tools or support other than the surgery. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

Any recommendations on how to get through the liquid diet i didn't do one with my original surgery. Ive heard Premier seems to be a lot of peoples favorite. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes, i was approved and surgery is 3/20. Starting liquid diet Tuesday. The doctor said he will repeat the upper endoscopy in one year and biopsy to monitor the Barrets. I also have a hiatal hernia so he said we can also look at that. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

So i am working with a surgeon on getting the overstitch procedure done. I had surgery in 2006 at 292 and only lost about 50 pounds. I am now at 282 and my EGD tomorrow. Has anyone had experience with the approval process with a revision. I have Blue Coss of California insurance. I definitely have 6 months of documented weight loss attemps over the past few years 3 months was a medical weight loss place and immediately following 3 months with my doctor.

I was approved surgery scheduled 3/20 for overstitch. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

He left some sort of loop where food sat. Long story. Just make sure you have a good surgeon. And i think most people on here are involved and informed i was none of those things. The nurse told me i could eat whatever i wanted because my body wouldnt absorb the calories. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

I paid cash went in his office and scheduled surgery for 2 days later i was very young and just wanted to lose weight dont really know if he was experienced. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app

No. My surgery wasnt exactly performed correctly so thats probably why this happened with me. Sent from my LG-TP260 using BariatricPal mobile app
