Yay! Saw Dr. Rabkin today who said he would write a LOMN for my appeal/IMR at the DMHC! Sooo excited. Been fighting 4 years now. Had an old surgeon consult , who didn't even operate on patients with a BMI over 50, and didn't do the DS, who wrote things like high risk of failure and high risk in general. But Dr. Rabkin said if it wasn't for my insurance issues, he'd assign me a surgery date today! I really hope I get him :D

Good luck.  If you need more Rabkin info, I'm local.  Send me a PM.  My surgery was 4+ yrs ago.  There is a Rabkin group here that meets the 3rd Thur of the month.
