I have not had the band problems you have had, but the band just didn't help me with my health issues. I am having it removed tomorrow and RNY done. Hoping the RNY will resolve or improve my Type 2 Diabetes. I hope you get approved and soon. It sounds miserable to be going what you are going through.

I never lost a lot of weight or kept it off with the band. But I never had a slip or anything. Got foods stuck a lot. Reverted to soft foods high in carbs way to often. Just wish I had had the RNY the first time around (seven years ago) but the band seemed best to me at the time. I don't regret it, just I failed it or it failed me, maybe a bit of both. Wishing you the very best

Same here. No problems only a 40lb weight loss and then gained it back.

Yes, my band caused my esophagus to become seriously enlarged. Didn't lose all the weight. Also hernia issues and lots of throwing up. Will have it removed and everything repaired and cleaned up and the RNY done on the 17 th. insurance approved on first time but depends on the policy not just the company. My surgeon said this has become a common problem and they are doing a lot of revisions so insurance companies are familiar with it.

'Wonderful news. Same day approval is beyond awesome. The holidays and all the busy time will help the time pass quickly and then you will be able to have the surgery and start healing and get on track and feel better, this is my prayer. I am doing pretty good today, seventh day out.

You are in my prayers. I am so glad you are able to get the revision. I am doing pretty good really, I was in the hospital a couple more days then some but they did a lot of surgery in there so that isn't surprising. Hope today goes quickly and calmly for you. Sending you prayers and postive thoughts.
