lap band removal first to get insurance approval to RNY ?
vita428 replied to offthebandwagon's topic in Insurance & Financing
I had removal and bypass same surgery. Insurance would cover removal if I did it by its own. My band slipped. Even if I waited Yeats they refused to cover RNY. So, I was self pay. I did same visit BC I only get three weeks off per year (they are set ) and price difference was 3000. Got to live insurance but I needed band out due to slip. I was ticking time bomb so to speak. If insurance covers both due it in two surgeries, heard its more effective. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App -
Feel like this is failing?
vita428 replied to Juliecrockett's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had bypass 4/29 been stalled for weeks. Glad to know I'm not alone. I keep losing and gaining the same one pound. I'm a revision but I feel like it should be coming off more. He said I'd have a stall weeks three and four but it'd been since then:( Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App -

How long off work after Gastric Bypass
vita428 replied to 1Day1Life4Now's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm a college teacher. Had surgery on Tuesday taught 90 mins following Monday and four hours Wednesday. I was off from my full time teaching job. I was very tired. My students were understanding. If you have desk job I think week could be ok. Good luck! I revised from band to bypass. Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App -

vita428 replied to vita428's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Hi. I was actually going in for check ups for my band when we found out it slipped: ( my Dr made me only do but and psych again for revision. I actually did go to but each month prior to surgery and I had to attend pre op seminar for bypass. Each Dr is different though. My insurance would only pay for band removal and not if I did revision on same day. Long story short, it was only 3000 less to do one surgery than two so I'm self pay unfortunately: ( Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App I just found app yesterday too:) Sent from my XT1254 using the BariatricPal App -
