Back at square one.

Sep 26, 2012

I went to the surgeons office last week only to find out I have gotten back up to my presurgery weight. They gave me a fill that put me over one notch from the cc when they unfilled my band because of acid reflux and I can feel the reflux starting to return so I already know that I am going to have to get the band out which is no love lost to me. While I was at the doctor's office last week the assistant that deals with the insurance side of things told me my insurance will cover a revision to a sleeve or gastric bypass if I have at least 6 months of supervised dieting and I have been on weight watchers exactly that timeframe. I am going to make an appointment to try and get my doctor on the page with me to get the revision to the vsg and maybe I can get the ds if this doesn't work. Since the DS is soooo invasive I am kind of scared of it, but glad that it could be an option if I fail or the sleeve fail me. I am basically on here today doing research and viewing other members grief on the same subject. I want to keep updating you so that new members can see what they could possibly go through. Everything isn't always green. We all want to lose weight and we all want to do it permanently, but if I had known all the new information that is coming out about the band when I had it done over five years ago, I would have never done it.
