Revision from Lapband



Recommended Posts

Does anyone know if you have to go through the whole process again, if you are going to get a revision?

I didn't have to go through the long waiting period or losing weight, etc. Ins Co approved in 2 weeks.

I didn't have to do anything.. But I was low bmi and self pay. So not sure if those were the reasons.

Maybe. I was self pay for lapband but still had to do NUT & Psych. Perhaps the sic feels everything is a-ok!

I was also self pay for my band. I went to a new surgeon to see about revising due to band issues, but initially the surgeon was trying to tell me I was just making bad food choices and was trying to get me back on track. After several months of no weight loss and lots of pain under my breastbone and both ribs, he decided to do testing. My gallbladder was fine and I had no swallowing issues per the UGI. After the EGD, it was determined my band definitely needed removal.

I have to get a psych evaluation per insurance requirements. I have already had two nut visits. Praying for a quick answer of APPROVED :)

I wish you all the best.

      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.
