I have all the fill out of my band since August. I can eat everything...haven't been able to do that for over 5 years. My question for you revisioners to DS....did you lose your weight? I have gained around 10 lbs since being unfilled and that puts me at my start wt with the band....Iam just so worried that the DS won't work for me either. My surgery is 1/24/13....excited, scared and hopeful.....

I am pre-op RNY, so can't answer that part... but it seems like DS is best as far as long term success.  I wish I could have had it. My BMI was too low, my insurance only covers 50+

Could you try to appeal that? My bmi is 40 . There are to many rules and regulations with these insurance companies...especially with revision!

You should appeal. There are lots of DS vets around who could help you with that.
