That is great to go to someone highly recommended and people close to you referred you that 100% 
So Im sure your very comfortable and never stop asking questions!
Good Luck!
I'm going with Pompeii... Mainly because 2 of my friends went there and they absolutely loved it! And I will also be recovering in their beach house! I'm so excited.
In general, revision surgeries tend to result in slower weight loss, and it's not super common for folks to lose all their regain after.
Do you know if there's a mechanical issue with your current stomach configuration? Or was the failure to reach goal because of your behavior? If your tool is working just fine, you would probably want to go back to basics and use what you've got before undergoing another procedure.

Hi Kay, im still learning this website again. i repeated question in another forum and you answered but i ask the same question than found your answer on another forum lol just bare with me. lol..
i understand now about the insurance now..
So your having surgery in March are you all set up..
who are you going to in mexico??
My insurance has a strict exclusion for bariatric procedures. i appealed 3 times, and then took it to the state for the appeals. denied every time. I am in Missouri. My first surgery was on Medicaid in Illinois... I no longer qualify for Medicaid and no longer live in that state. And the picture is for WLS period... no matter how many surgeries you have had.. or so I was told.
@KAY
Is this chart for first time WLS's or Revision or all!
@Kay
Love that Chart im in the first box. Its really encouraging i hope it is duable!!
Actually i do have a friend who got rny on september 25, 2019 and she is down 40. also in the first box range. but this is her first WLS ever..
Im on my 3rd
Did you do your first WLS in Mexico too??
What State are you living in?
I was one day away from going to Mexico for my sleeve when i decided to appeal my insurances decision and got approved after 3 days..cancelled my flight!
RIGHT!!!! Thats what I'm going to do as well.. My job is pretty sedentary. So 2 weeks should be good for me.
I am actually getting surgery in Mexico! My insurance did not cover it... I have gained my weight back so I want to lose like 150 lbs. I have heard the same... the revision is slow weight loss, if any. But it will help me with the heartburn which is half the battle! I am now 328...we got this. And although it will not be as easy as the first WLS, we can still make our goal. Im in a group and someone posted this
@Kay
i took off 2 weeks but im sure i will not use it all better safe than sorry!
