Well... As we all know... sometimes this journey after surgery is not so easy..... I have gained back all but 63 lbs. of what I had lost after my surgery... I am getting myself back on track now... Went to see Kathleen... Have an appointment next week with Dr. Denning then with Dr. Singh's PA to discuss the road to revision.  My insurance said it covers revisions with the proper documentation... So lets hope all goes well.... I will update after my appointment next week.... Wish me luck!!!! :o)

 Hi there. We are in the same neck of the woods. I too am a patient at AMC. Can I ask what type of recision you are looking for? I am clueless about revisions after RNY.

I have no idea about what kind of revision.. I am hoping that the AMC team will shed some light on that for me next week.... Not sure if they just redo the pouch or if they convert to another procedure.  I will let you know after my appointment....

  Peace & Blessings....    Lori

Ok, I hope that they are able to do something for you. 

Are you aware that they have a weekly general support group there? And we also have a monthly group for those that are at least one year post op? If you want details, I'll post them for you. 

Good luck

 Lori Hi !
I am also a local and know Debbie. I am in the thinking about it stage and at this point insurance is holding me back more than anything. I am unemployed and don't have stable insurance. I also wanted to say hi because I am enrolled in the Liscenced Local Pastor Program with the Albany District of the UMC and I saw that you said your husband is a UMC pastor. It is so great to see someone else from the local UMC on here. I hope to connect with you soon.
