Approved! Band to bypass revision

[cute1 9]

Hello everyone, need to give an update. I didn't have surgery May 18th, was dehydrated and no one could get the IV. I had my resleeve yesterday. Everything is going well so far. I left the hospital today for the hotel that has a nurse and physician there if problems. So far I am happy and I think doing well

Hi, my name is Susan and I am having my band to gastric bypass on June 10th. I too am really nervous. I have been reading everything I can to get ready. Have my final surgeon visit on the 2nd. I am in Delaware....You?

I am having band revision to bypass in June 8!! Super excited!!

I got approval and a surgery date of June 8 also band to bypass. I cannot wait to be free from my band. It has not been a good experience at all! I am 2 weeks out and finally with a surgery date very nervous. I also have Aetna insurance. Good luck to everyone!

What was your approval process like? I'm just starting my journey to get rid of this awful band giving me reflux and only lost 25lbs since 2008. Were u made to do a 3 month diet again? I have Aetna pos ii btw!

Sparkleshark i have aetna as well. No diet. Took about a month to get approval

I didn't have to do the diet thing for 6 months where I had the band I was approved with in two weeks

I see that your surgery date is getting close. I hope you're excited. I had the revision from band to RNY done back in October. BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE! I have already lost close to 50 pounds, and that's with me doing a move from GA to AK and having to eat on the road for three months. You are going to be amazed at how much easier it is to have the RNY than the band. I wish you the best of luck!!!
