He said it's going to be very difficult to get ins approval b/c my BMI is 29. (I'm 5'4" and weigh 165). I really afraid of a gastric bypass. I'm interested in your story about the scar tissue. That really is making sense for me as I went for my endoscopy and learned that they were doing a barium swallow instead. My band was completely shut and they stopped the test. It makes no sense to me that the band was completely closed b/c I know I don't have a lot of fluid in mine. I thought it was the hernia stopping the food, but I could see the barium clearly stopped at the band site. I was so confused. Then he immediately wanted to see me in his office (which I didn't go yet) I'm sure for the purpose of removing all the fluid from the band. My stomach isn't tight all the time, just in the mornings or if I don't eat for a very long period of time. I tried to explain that to them at the barium swallow, but they really didn't care and stopped the test and that was it. <br />Your comment helps me to understand that maybe I have the same problem you have. It would make the tight band make sense.<br />Thanks for sharing - that helped me more than you realize.<br />RhondaThe Cozy (not crazy) Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475229833528879552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592658291373471336.post-10995225196563626762015-12-05T05:32:21.378-08:002015-12-05T05:32:21.378-08:00Thanks Jen!Thanks Jen!The Cozy (not crazy) Coconuthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05475229833528879552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7592658291373471336.post-53944010309604756152015-12-03T16:47:12.481-08:002015-12-03T16:47:12.481-08:00I ended up having the conversion to RNY in June 1...I ended up having the conversion to RNY in June 14... it's been great. My band failed as well - developed scar tissue that surrounded it and basically squeezed it shut - lots of acid, couldn't eat or drink, etc.... Glad I did it.
