TMG1980TMG 136 Posted August 26, 2015 I am still waiting for approval from insurance, but my "tentative" surgery date is 9/29-- It seems so far away! If my insurance comes back fast with approval the scheduler said she could try and bump the surgery up to a sooner date.... Common Highmark BCBS ????????????

toasty 371 Posted August 27, 2015 @@superslim yes this is my first time, and hopefully my last! I decided on the "gold standard", so I don't know what I would do after this if it didn't work. *shudder* I'm not even going to think about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
superslim 13 Posted August 27, 2015 Your going for a bypass right?, this is my 3rd surgery, first was gastric band and achieved goal weight, but after a few years had problems so I went for a revision to a gastric sleeve, felt hunger from start, almost back to starting weight now, so now mini gastric bypass scheduled In October, I wish someone had told me from the beginning, goodluck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toasty 371 Posted August 27, 2015 Oh no! Sorry to hear that. Yeah, I decided on gastric bypass from the beginning, it was my doctor's recommendation since I have such a high BMI. Good luck on your revision surgery, I'm sending good vibes your way that this is the last time you have to deal with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
