Recommended Posts

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??

I just had my band out, but they are having me wait 3 months to heal. You are having it all at once?

Yes my surgeon does the procedure all in one. I'm super happy about that. Going under is always so scary. I wouldn't wanna do it more than i had to.

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.

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!!!

      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.
