DS resleeve in the works!!!!!

I wish you the best and I hope you sail through the insurance stuff. You seem to understand the risks and I only wish much success for you. I look forward to your updates. Keeping my fingers crossed for you too!

Best of luck on the resleeve!

WOW, that had to have made your day!  Here's wishing you the best for your days ahead. 

Saw your other post and wanted to make sure I found this one to tell you good luck with your resleeve! 

I'm new to this board and not familiar with your story. I went to your profile, but you don't have anything there about all this. Could you share your story with those of us who are new?

Thanks,

Lynda

I'm sorry Lynda! I need to update my profile majorly, I know!  Hmmmm to make it the condensed version for here, lol.  I had the DS done in September 2008, started out at 420, lost 180lbs. Bottomed out about 240.  I have tried everything in the world to keep loosing, low carbs, dieting, exercising, more protein, more water, 6 small meals, 3 larger meals, everything everyone told me to do...nothing was working. I am back up to fluctuating between 250 and 270ish, mainly 260.  I have been there for over a year now without a lb loss. I have been researching getitng resleeved (making my sleeve small again), as in a resleeve revision. I have been on here for over a year asking questions and researching. I have had some negative comments and some positive comments, kind of like a roller coaster ride, lol. I went to my surgeon and asked if resleve was possible, she said yes becuase she doesn't believe she made my sleeve small enough in the first place. I then had to do the six month dietician appoitnments which I recently finished, now my resleeve is getting submitted t insurace and I am waiting on the awnser....whether I am going to have to appeal or not!  Lil bit of drama thrown in there don't really want to retell, lol.

I have much the same story as yours, except I have only just begun to tentatively poke around thinking about getting resleeved.  I didn't have a good experience with my original surgeons office, so I've been kind of "starting fresh" and seeing who is willing to operate on someone else's previous BPD/DS....

I was wondering if you got your insurance approval, and/or have moved on with the resleeve yet???
