So back in March my insurance denied my band removal , my surgeon did a peer to peer review and got them to approve the removal, however they were unable to approve the bypass because I didn't have the 6 months med. sup. weight loss program . Long story short my PCP was able to go far back as NOV , and Fri was my last visit/ weigh in . I sent everything to my surgeons office and they were gonna submit it this am . Now the wait game. I did notice last time they responded quickly like within 4 days but I am not sure if it was that quick due to the denial or if they are always that fast. Any way I am just trying to be positive and pray about it, but I am so tense it's constantly on my mind.
At home recovering from my revision surgery.everthing went great.trying to remember to drink my fluids.

That really stinks! I sure hope that you are able to find a doctor to help you and that takes your insurance.

Hi, I had gastric bypass surgery in 2006. I lost close to 100 lbs. Within the last 2 years i have regained 50 lbs. My Dr said my connection from my pouch to my intestine has stretched. I have a revision scheduled for July 31 but I am a little nervous. I had complications with the first surgery. I also had a perforated ulcer repair 2 years ago. Any suggestions. I am very unhappy with my current weight of 242
Hi, looking for help and suggestions. I had a vsg in 2013 didnt lose the amount of weight I wanted, never got under 200!! I believe that i am experiencing some GERD symptoms and have had about 40lbs of regain. I am seeing my PCP next monday and plan to ask for a referral to bariatrics. Any thoughts on which site would give me the best/fastest route to revision to RNY? I was thinking Richmond because it's the closest.
Any help would be appreciated.
- original surgery was not done at kaiser
- do not have a formal Dx of GERD
