Scared Shitless-8 years out banded rapidly gaining weight



Recommended Posts

I am sort of a similar situation and I definitely understand. My choice right now is to get refilled and just deal with the side effects of vomiting, etc. or remove the band and hope that my insurance will cover me for the sleeve three months after. It's so stressful, I completely appreciate that. The thought of gaining weight rapidly once the band is removed is so depressing. I wish you all the best and deep down know that for me, I need to get this band out..

Dear PrettyPuffy Why don't you ask your Doctor to ask your Ins Co. to approve you for both Surgeries? This is what my Doctor did. He explained that he was taking the Band out, and waiting 3 months for good tissue to grow and than doing Gastric Sleeve. they than gave approval for Both Surgeries. Can't hurt....JewelJ

You are exactly right. That is what I need to ask them to do. I know that by having prior approval for both procedures I will feel so much more relaxed about the time between and less likely to freak out and go on an eating binge.

It is to the Doc advantage to do this... He is getting two surgeries out of it......Let me know how it works out...If my Doc did it, I'm sure he knows what to say in the letter.. I'm sure he knows what they want to hear.....good luck

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
