How’s everybody doing

I had the gastric bypass in 2004 lost 100 pounds and unfortunately have gained them back. I’m looking into getting a revision surgery. It’s just revising my gastric bypass I’m not switching to any kind of different weight loss surgery. I would like to know of anyone that has had this same thing done and how much weight did you lose

Can anyone tell me how much out-of-pocket they paid for a revision surgery with BCBS federal standard? I Just need to know how much the hospital stay cost you and the surgery itself not all the other appointments

Still waiting...

I had RNY gastric bypass in 2004. I have gained weight back unfortunately and a revision would be to revise the surgery I had in 2004 to help me lose weight again. They go in their resize your pouch...etc. They say revisions are not as drastic with weight loss as the original surgery but I don’t know that for sure. Some people need revisions for medical reasons. I am hoping with mine to have a 2nd and final chance to get it right.

Tina did you have basic or standard on the BCBS and is your insurance federal plan? If you don’t mind me asking how much did everything cost out-of-pocket

Sorry about the abdominal cramping but it seems like you are doing awesome now!!!! That is great news on weight loss in just a month out!!!! So glad you are doing great! Thank you, I hope so too. I should know something in the next few weeks. You keep doing great!!!

Wow!!!! That is amazing!!! So happy for you! Still battling my insurance on my revision but I have hired an advocacy group to help me. You are doing awesome!!!! Congrats! If I get a second chance with this, I hope to do as well as you ❤️

Any updates from you ladies that had the revisions completed recently? Would love to hear about your journey

Good luck to all fixing to have surgery!!! That’s awesome! And the ones who have had the revision already I would love to hear how things are going! You don’t hear much from people on revisions and how they are doing!

I’m from Oklahoma. I’ve hired an advocate agency to help me fight it. But thanks for offering to help. So your dr said a 70 pound weight loss is possible!!! That is so awesome.

I’m excited for all you guys! And thanks for the responses! I’m still fighting with insurance on mine. But it’s great to see some updates on revisions. There’s not a lot of info on revision stories and how they go. Would love to keep up with your progress and success!!!

I have FEP BCBS Standard. I thought I had the basic option but I do for sure have the standard. I was looking to see how much it cost someone just for the hospital stay and surgery with this insurance? It’s kind of confusing to me.

I’m sorry I meant I have FEP standard but I appreciate all the comments. I thought it was Basic but mine is standard

Do you how much out of pocket it will cost you? Just the surgery and hospital stay. Not all the other appt.

I have BCBS federal basic. Can you tell me how much out of pocket you are paying? Just for the surgery and hospital stay? Not all the other appts

Wow that is awesome!!!! Thanks for responding. I’m in debates my insurance denied my revision and I’m thinking about hiring an advocate agency to help me fight it. But before I pay them money I’m trying to see how beneficial it will be. I’ve heard different stories about revisions and I would love to check in with you and see how your progress is going if you don’t mind. That sounds exactly what my revision would be if I get it. Thanks again and congrats on your journey

I have BCBS federal. I am trying to get a revision of gastric bypass originally done in 2004. They denied me because with the original surgery, I lost at least 50% of excess weight. My doctor did a peer to peer but still denied. Has anyone ever had this happen to them

How much did this cost
