New Lapband revision with Gastric Bypass

[OmaJ 130]

Hi all, I had my Lapband revision with Gastric Bypass on 9/5/17. Thankful I only had to spend one night in the hospital. Walking good since the day of surgery, and have slowly worked up to walking outside around our block twice a day! I was in a car accident 4 years ago, multiple health issues since, and last 2 years consistently gained wt. I was miserable prior to surgery, felt like you could pop my abdomen with a pin (looked like 9 months pregnant).

I am diabetic, was on Trulicity weekly injection several months prior to surgery, which is the main reason for having the surgery - hopefully help reverse diabetes, get healthy and feel better physically. I'm a disabled nurse now (pediatric/NICU). I know this will/is a journey with ups & downs, and is a "tool" - I have to do my part, but thankful surgery went smoothly and I'm on my way to better health! God bless each of you on your journey!

Congratulations! I also was a diabetic, I had the roux en y on 8/24. I am no longer a diabetic. I no longer have high blood pressure. Best thing I ever did for myself!

So far I am down 30 lbs!

Enjoy your Journey !

Thank you for the encouragement and sharing! You've done amazing [emoji122] and what a blessing to no longer be Diabetic AND no more high blood pressure! I've been on blood pressure med. for years (well controlled), but what an added bonus it would be to come off that and cholesterol med. as well! [emoji4]

I'm also hoping to have a lap band revision to gastric bypass this November. Did you have trouble getting it approved by your insurance ?

[OmaJ 130]

No, my insurance approved it within approx. 3-4 weeks after the Dr.'s office submitted it.
