My revision is approved and scheduled

[Stephy5 33]

So I am so me with a long story, so long story short...

First band 1/2011 lost over 100 lbs

Got deathly ill and band slipped , second band 8/2102 and it has sucked.

I am not scheduled for revision surgery July 20th. Excited, scared, nervous are just a few words. I may have to have the procedure done in 2 surgeries and that stinks. I am over all this. My first band changed my life for the better and I want that again.

My daughter is having sleeve surgery in less then 2 weeks so she's my focus right now, but all the emotions are making me crazy.

Ok done rambling.

I had a band in 2006. Lost about 40 pounds and was doing ok with it. Bnad slipped in 2014. Was removed and rebanded Jan 2014. I

Ive had nothing but misery with 2nd band! Gained almost 15 pounds since 2014. Nausea, food getting stuck, port pinching. Im going for consult to revise from band to sleeve. My current BMI is only 31 though. Wondering if insurance will decline? Im now pre-diabetic, along with severe sleep apnea and other comorbidities that qualified me for the band to begin with. Did you experience any problems with approval?

I'm sorry you are having to deal with this as well. Yes they denied first go around, but approved after I went to nutritionist and psych again. So nervous. Good luck
