After a long struggle and battle to get my revision covered, I have a date for December 20th.
I know that there is a probability that I may have to have the surgery done in two stages, but at least I will be rid of my RNY.

I read this board every day and you guys are such an inspiration to me. Now, that I have a date, I hope to be more active on the boards.

Hi Penny,

I am so glad that you were able to finally win your battle! You can inspire all of the board members who are having to do the same. You can show them that it really can be done, and give them tips on how to make it happen.

I understand what you mean about waiting until you have a date (or, in my case, insurance acceptance) before becoming very active. Before that, it all seemed like a pipe dream of mine, and that I didn't have anything to add much.

I am so happy that you have a date! It will be here before you know it!
We will all be rooting for you here!

Revision on 12/20/11

Thanks everyone for the encouraging posts. I am still in shock that the surgery is finally going to happen. The hospital called today to confirm my surgery date.
