    I got a lap band 10 years ago and what amazed me was the delay in scheduling the surgery because of all the insurance hoops you have to jump through. Then, suddenly, the phone rings and it's the surgeon telling you your surgery is in a week! So be patient is my best advice, it WILL happen, just more slowly (and quickly) than you think!

    HELP VSG or RNY

    JRTMom replied to New&Improved's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    Thanks for these replies! I have a 10 year old lap band that's giving me a world of woe. I just saw a surgeon and he will do either procedure, but since I have a history of GERD he is recommending the RNY.

    Oh my God, I don't know you and I want to be your best friend. I want to drive to NY and bring you home!! I remember 10 years ago getting up the nerve to tell my husband I wanted a lap band. It was terrifying and I had none of the relationship issues y'all have. Please post often and let us know how you are doing, and if there's anything I can do to help.

    Hi all. First post here! Long story short--I have a 10 year old lap band that I'm having nothing but trouble with. My doc said I could revise it to either a sleeve or bypass. Right now I have Aetna, but by the time I do the 6 month diet I will be on Medicare and the doc doesn't know if they cover revisions. Anyone out here have any experience with this? Thanks!
