7 weeks out, can't lose weight. Dr did BPD instead of BPD/DS. Help

Start with insurance rules and move forward from there. See if they will pay for one of the vetted revision docs, then you will be on your way. Some people self pay if insurance denies. It really varies. I know I was fortunate to have insurance pay for 3 WL surgeries.

I would really like to stay in touch with you. You were going through things that I am going through and I can hardly find anyone who has had the BPD never mind have any of them to talk to. Please get in touch if you would like to x

I think you need some legal advice........  Seriously.  You told the doc what you wanted and came out with something totally different than what he said he was doing and how it was coded for insurance.  I am so sorry for you and I also wish you had come here first.  We would have told you right away this individual is not a DS revision surgeon.

Do you now what the major differences are between the DS and the BPD or ERNY, so when he tells me they are the same I am armed with some knowledge to help me?

They are night and day different.  With a true revision, the surgeon will take down the pouch and reconnect to the remnant stomach.  He/she will then make the sleeve stomach.  He/she then needs to reconfigure the intestines.  100 cm common channel is average for the most part.  With my revision I ended up with a 3.3 oz stomach and an 85 cm common channel.  

Hi there! I am soooo pleased to finally find someone else who has had the BPD! I had mine done in July just passed but it's a VERY long story! Are you on Facebook? Would you be interested in keeping in touch? I am totally lost at the minute with this BPD! X
