Hello,

i don't think the records are available.

Hi,

I know this post is three years old, but how did things work out? Kelly is going to be helping me with my insurance denial as well. Crossing my fingers.

interesting - my situation was just the opposite. i was scheduled to have a gastrojejunostomy but got denied at the very last minute because of the fact that i had previously had a sleeve. even though i am in a "normal"bmi range they are still having me go thru a bariatric center of excelence . i am fine with it in the end because i was approved very quickly. scheduled for 10/1

I am looking for a good non-dairy protein shake. All of a sudden I can't drink Premier which was my go to?

It is weird thinking that I am considered a "success"... haha! But I am very grateful to still be down 100 lbs from my starting weight.

Thanks for your response! Yes, while the DS seems like a logical next surgery it does seem like RNY revision would be a more common approach. So few surgeons do DS - but most do RNY and VSG. DS isn't probably a great option for me because I'd struggle with a high fat diet as I'm vegetarian. (Part of the reason why I choose VSG in the first place.)

I'm meeting my surgeon next week. I was looking at his website and it looks like he (or his hospital) offers endoscopic revision. I've searched here on OH but haven't seen a lot about sleeve patients revising with endoscopic revision. But if my sleeve has enlarged, maybe that would be all I would need to kick weight loss back into gear. I'd love to be able to be successful with just restrictive only procedures, but I might need the metabolic boost of something more.

Thanks again for your response!
