HI Sue,
What is your status now? Do you still recommend the overstitch?
Jessica
Who was your Dr.? I'm also in Arizona! Need a bariatric Dr. Tom listen to me, I have been dealing with ulcer for 15 years and at the point of perforation now. Please help, I can't eat or hold anything down.
Anyone had this done? I am thinking that is going to be the next step in my journey; anyone that has had this I would appreciate the feedback from your experience.
How are you ladies doing following the procedure? I am considering it.
Thanks
Jessica
Yes if it's medical necessary.that's what I was told in Ft.Carson.Co. when I started the process..I
Held off because of the job I had I stayed training or tdy orders.sob I m in Texas know my husband is retired. I'm going thru the revision process all over but I used my BCBS.for federal workers. ..wish you the best .
my revision is to f in my hernia and acid reflux
So sorry to hear about your problems, I think we all have different issues thrown at us, I was sleeved on 6/13 and lost 100lbs. Due to life throwing curve balls at me I've regained 50lbs, but now I seem to have acid reflux and my surgeon is going to do a revision. I'm hopeful since the reflux is bad and I've stopped eating food I was used to eating. I haven't heard of the procedure but I wish you well.
What type of revision is she having done?
Original surgery: VSG Feb. 2009
REVISED TO RNY FEBRUARY 2016
Height: 5'7"
Start weight: 252. Current weight: 120
Has my results from my EGD. Know waiting n insurance approval from insurance .anyone else has Blue Cross for federal work employees. If so how long was the approval process I'm having a revision from a sleeve to RNY. And hernIA repair. .
Just want some feedback. Banded in 2013, and never saw great success. However, I didn't gain weight, and for me, that's a minor victory. When the band was way too tight, yes, I had GERD....The band is totally unfilled now, and I am fine.
My doctor did a EGD and the band had "migrated to the esophageal junction". My question is:
1. My GERD seems to only happen with a very, very tight band that was ill placed. Should I still be leary of the sleeve?
2. Only options I have here in town to my knowledge are sleeve and band. I already had the band. I want to get to my goal weight (160), so I have about 50 pounds. I know I will lose more slowly than first timers. I am ok with that.
Anybody here have a similar story and have success with sleeve?
