I'm sleeved.....3rd day post op and feeling ok...the band removal in April hurt worset that the sleeve.  Had loads of scar tissue from the band and i'm looking forward to the beginning to of great results

My pre-op diet starts June 13, 2013

My surgery is July 3, 2013- revision to Gastric sleeve

So my band is gone and I have learned so much with Dr McNatt...it's wonderful.....

I was looking to revise to RNY, but I have a history of kidney stones, so the sleeve is my best option.

I'm excited........I meet with my new NUT  Amber on 5/13 and Post op band removal with Dr McNatt of 5/20

I have to wait 3 months after band removal for the revision. They feel it;s the best and safe transition and I completely agree, plus I have a histal Hernia.....

My GERD has not bothered me one time, since having my band removed.....my band made my symptoms to much worse.

So I'm at a road block, but it's been quickly removed.

 

I had to change hospitals due to some billing issues.

 

I have appt on 3/18 with my new surgeon.

So BCBSMO required a 6month nslws diet.........thank God I started tracking my food and exercise on myfitnesspal.com.

I orignally sent my coordinator 3 months worth, but got a call from my caseworker that I needed 3 more months....

She faxed it today at 10 am and I got a call from my insurance caseworker that I'm approved....

 

 

Lapband to RNY here I go

So I finished my Nutritional appointment and my Psy appointment last week.  My info is being sent to my coordinator and I'm really hoping to have my surgery on my band-anniversary date Jan 28th.

 

BCBS has always been a preferred carrier for me. I'm excited. Last time, it took 3 days give or take a day.....fingers crossed

It has been a long while and i'm back.

Had my upper Gi this week, and my Psy consult is 12-12-2012.

It's been two weeks and 15 lbs down. I get my staples out of Valentines day, then after that I can really pick up my exercise routine.

I used my health care spending account to pay for my expenses and I'm scheduled for 1/29/2008.

I have a few pounds to go, but I'll be a bi losser soon.
