Poolie01 8 Posted May 28, 2013 Hi everyone, I'm new on here and just wanted to introduce myself. My surgery date is June 20th. I will have my lapband converted to a gastric bypass. I was banded in 2009 and only had minimal weight loss (30 lbs). In April my new surgeon diagnosed me with a slipped band, hiatal hernia and severe GERD so my insurance is going to cover the revision under medical necessity. I was very fortunate that the insurance approved the medical necessity in 3 days! I'm looking forward to al the support I see this group gives. 3 wannabeskinnyme, karlam29 and MissNikki27 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
