I don't think I would have done it given the severe severe pain that I had. Plus I had a hemorrhage and landed back in The hospital for a transfusion. My original surgery was 22 years ago. I regained all of my weight back after 17 years. I also know I would not be able to lose weight on my own as it would take years and for me to star e myself in 800 calories a day. Not sure i will lose much after this revision. Lots of risks and I've read horror stories from othere who have under gone 5-6 surgeries after their bypass. Do lots of research. Make sure someone will be there for you if you have issues and that they will immediately act on your behalf and take your complaints seriously
How did it go? How much more did u lose after the bypass?
Same here! I had my vsg done 2010 lost 100 lbs now here I am fatter then before and my ins won't cover DC or saddie only bypass , and the dr said I will only loose Maybe 20 more lbs but need it done because of gerd. I want the saddie
is there anything I can do to get my insurance to pay? I have united healthcare?
How are you doing? Have you spoken to your doctor about your interest in revision or possibly trying a pharmaceutical alternative? There are so many now! After seeking help with my knees Dr. only x-ray'd and insisted getting weight off would help. After discussing prescription alternatives finally the only one that was appropriate for body was Wellbutrin/Naltrexone also known as Contrave. It has made it so much easier to say no to overeating and bad habits and I'm losing finally.
Something to consider is that with every surgical intrusion to your abdomen you increase the risk of adhesions and hernias. We have so many avenues of health even before pills or shots...Weigh****chers is just one that has always had a sound program and offers avenues of great support.
Hope you are doing well and busy enjoying your summer. Best wishes for whatever path you choose with your weight journey.
It's important to take all the recommended vitamins. I made a mistake ignoring that advice and now my bones are really weak. I fell and fractured my wrist that needed a surgery. The bone was so weak that they need to put two pieces of titanium objects to hold it together.
