I'm getting the "phyx"!!!
I called today to set up a consultation appointment for the Stomaphyx procedure next week but forgot to ask one question and thought maybe you would know. Do you have to be a certain amount over weight? I had my original surgery in 2002 and after 2 children in about 2 years I am at 174 pounds and I am 5'5. Do you know if I will qualify? I don't want to waste anyone's time if I don't.
Hi there!
I'm a Zahn patient too! ..... ..... The Stomapphyx is for anyone who has " never reached their desired weight or who has had some regain". There isn't a weight quota at all. You sound like you are a perfect candidate . Those who are back up to around 75 plus pounds overweight would probably want to consider a full revision whi*****ludes having more bypassed for more malabsorption . Some insurances cover revisions but unfortunately, insurances are not covering the Stomaphyx.
Congrats on having 2 wee ones since your surgery! You have been busy! :)
