KikiRent13 23 Posted February 8, 2017 My doctors office just called to tell me that my insurance approved my revision surgery to gastric bypass. I'm so happy and extremely nervous at the same time. My surgery is set for March 15th. I can't believe it's finally gonna happen. I've been waiting so long to be rid of this horrible band and feel relief pain wise. Anyone else having surgery in March??Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App 6 jovi2673, Middus, Chericpie and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wouldn't wanna do it more than i had to. Sent from my SM-J700T using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vironica 10 Posted February 10, 2017 Yep I hear yea! Wish it it was all done! Getting the port removed was very painfull. Yet thank Goodness I do have 3 months, so I can forget the lap band removal. ..lol.

KikiRent13 23 Posted February 11, 2017 Thank you so much. I'm so nervous and I still have 4 weeks to go. Last night I was speaking with my boyfriend and he was encouraging me to just be calm and realize I'm doing this for me and not anyone else. I guess my biggest concern is being put under anesthesia. Last time I had a major freak out on the hospital bed as they wheeled me down the hall to surgery. But the hospital I was at was so amazing and they pushed my tears away and made me feel calm. The staff was truly amazing. I'm hoping this other hospital will be the same.

chunkymunkey916 7 Posted March 15, 2017 Just curious what insurance do you have and what were the requirments to get approved for the revision? I had a sleeve done not band and after 5 years Im seeking revision due to weight regain (pregnancy and ither health issues). I'm so afraid my insurance will not approve me. Any advice please is sooo appreciated and congrats to you tomorrow is your BIG DAY!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
