Congrats on your approval. It took me quite a while to get mine but it just came in today. I actually went thru 2 appeals and we ended up submitting a new case. I was banded in 2010 and lost probably about 35lbs from my surgery date only. I started vomiting constantly and the doctor couldn't figure would why because he said I had the perfect fill. He would take stuff out and it still happened. I finally took more and more out....not I am totally delated which of course brought the weight back fast.

I originally wanted the sleeve but now I am thinking to go to the RNY. I was told people that have the lapband which is restrictive don't lose as well with the sleeve. I was also told there is more of a chance of leaks with the sleeve in the revision because of the scar tissue and then there is the acid reflux issue.

I have a couple friends that originally had the RNY and love it. I would love to know more about how the recovery went..

Again congrats on your approval!!!! Made my day too!

I, too, originally considered the Sleeve. I have just been approved for the RNY an am looking at mid November for surgical date. Have you had your surgery yet? How are you doing?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
