Revision after gastric bypass anyone???

Something that happens over time.  I don't know for sure but the diet coke probably didn't help. Just needed a tune-up!

I'm doing well 2 weeks out and have restriction again...YEAH!!!!!

Check out the Apollo Overstitch online - there is a great animation that shows how it is done.

what surgery is this a revision for?

I had RNY 11 years ago...I need a tune up :-)

Is the Apollo Overstitch something that insurance will cover usually? 

My insurance covered it after I went through 6 months of seeing the doctor each month and documenting that we discussed diet and nutrition.

It was well worth it! Have your doctor's office contact your insurance to see what is required.

Good luck

Was the revision an easy process?

Yes it was very easy. It was endoscopic and I went home the same day. I had it done on a Thursday, slept for a couple of days from the general anesthesia and went back to work on Monday. The weird thing is that you don't feel like anything was done because there are no incisions to heal. But you know you had it when you can only consume small amounts!!! It's been a little over 2 weeks and I've lost 13 lbs. I'm starting on soft foods now and can really tell that restriction is back....YEAH!!!

Good luck!

Are you losing weigh as quick as you did with RNY?

Not quite but since April 7 I've lost 42 lbs and am lower than I ever was.
