Well, I'm happy for you. :)  I just finished my last step of my insurance approval process last week, so now I'm waiting for approval.

If you are starting to regain please follow through with MD visits and support groups even if you have to start your own.  In the meantime use these boards for support.  That's what keeps me straight.  Just by being active in the WLS community is all I need.

There is a doc in the valley that is one of the best in the world, John Husted.  He's one of a handful of surgeons in the country that can do surgeries such as RNY to DS in the same surgery.  I'm not suggesting you get a revision, my point is that is how good he is.  I know for a fact he sees patients he did not operate on, that's what he specializes in.  People with problems regardless of who did their surgery.

if you want his cell phone just PM me.

Call Dr. Podkameni's office.  He's in Gilbert but does take other RNY patients other than his own.

Sorry, I know of a few in Phoenix but not Tucson. If you can't find one you like in Tucson let me know.

Have you ever been to Jerome, AZ? From what you post I have a hunch you'd get a kick out of that city if you haven't already been there.

That's not a place you'd want to spend a week though, 1-2 days is more than enough. ;o)

Sleeves rock! Best surgery type for me! I had a band and revised to a sleeve 2.5 years ago and it was the best thing I could have done.

Congrats to the newbies!
