I heard back from my surgeons office this afternoon, and after hearing how I am feeling, Dr. Marshall wants to see me tomorrow. I have an appointment at 1:15.
He is not my Dr., although he did assist in placing my band. My surgeon is out of town for three weeks I think they said. So we shall see. He is calling in a prescription for me for protonix.
I also spoke with my insurance company this morning and they would cover the revision surgery to sleeve. So that is a relief to me. I know that I am in horrible pain right now, and that I want this to go away. If that means I lose the band and gain the sleeve, then so be it. I will not live with this pain I am in.
Since they unfilled me, I am feeling acid in the back of my throat that I have never felt since being banded.
Time will tell what will happen to my best friend.....I will keep you all posted I promise.
