Hello there,

I am trying to get a revision from a lap band to a bypass.  I have been told that I need to do a 6 month diet again.  I had my lapband on 2-07.  I only lost 60 poinds ad started and then had a dialated pouch and repeated issues getting stuck and reflux.  Now I am gaining weight back.  Someone mention that I might still be under the bariatric umbrella but I have no clue what this is.  Can someone help?  I want to be informed so when I call the doctor I know what to say.

Thanks,
Norma

If you love yourself first then all others will too.  Never judge me by looking at my shell, instead try to look at my soul.

If you have been keeping your appts - your covered!  you would fall undera revision and not a whole new surgery ... Have the Ins  person check it out.
