klelly1 20 Posted September 18, 2013 has anyone ever heard of the band slipping a little and pushing on the vagus nerve, causing an irregular heart beat? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aunnyq@gmail.com 13 Posted September 21, 2013 I had a severe slip, and my bmi is 27. I was a successful bandster by their standards... But my band and I don't get along well. Like you I had horrible reflux and vomiting even with very little fill. But insurance approved my band coming out and sleeve straight away. I was shocked that they were willing to pay for it! After your egd you may be very surprised at how easy it will be to get rid of! Best of luck let us know how it goes! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fixerupper 335 Posted October 8, 2013 My revision was deemed medically necessary due to band intolerance. Thry used my pre band weight ftom five years earlier. My weight at the time of sleeve approval wasn't even a factor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kr8160311 36 Posted January 10, 2015 Hi, Im' in the same boat as you now. I had emergency surgery to have my band removed in Nov due to slippage and now I want the sleeve but my BMI is 32.. My dr said he will still try to submit to ins but he told me not to get my hopes hope. I know this is 2 years old but how did you make out?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
