Hello Kim and fellow friends!

Had a nice weekend. Took the day off Friday spent it with my oldest son.
 
Saturday hit a few garage sales and went to shop for a pair of black crop pants to wear to retirement party that evening.
Party was nice! Prime Rib was YUMMY!

Sunday.. hung out and had ice cream cake with several family members for my B-day!

Today was back to the grind!

Thanks for posting!

Topic: RE: reversal of rny
Have you tried a search on this website to see if there is any information? I do know that they do reversals at Albany Medical Center but only if absolutely neccessary. One was recently done there because the woman's pouch was 85% ulcerated. I really can't help you out any more than that. Good Luck!

Topic: RE: Revision w/ Medicaid?
I know that the doctors at Albany Medical Center do revisions. One of the ladies in my support group had to go from band to bypass due to port issues. I don't know how Medicaid works but I am under the impression that if you qualified for WLS in the first place and your band fails you for whatever reason you are still qualified for bypass. It does take two surgeries to do it. First to take the band out and then at least six weeks later they do the bypass. 

If you are permanently disabled and are on Social Security you probably should be getting medicare benefits. Medicare does cover WLS but it can only be done at a Center of Excellence, which Albany Med is. Ellis and St Peter's are not COEs. The number for the Bariatric Group at Albany Medical is 262-0942.
 
We also have a weekly support group that meets Thursdays from 5:30-6:30 at 25 Hackett Blvd. at the Albany Med South Campus.

Good luck. If there is any thing specific that I could be of help with let me know. I don't work for them - only had my surgery there but I am more than willing to help out.

Hi all! I worked all weekend. Luckily it was quiet at the nursing home so it was a good one. Worked again today and it was a good day. Off tomorrow so that will be the best. Got a ton of stuff to do. I did do some of it tonight so maybe I can get some down time too.

Have a great evening everyone!

Is there only one surgeon at that hospital? or does the entire hospital refuse to do it?  If so, you are better off going to Albany anyway.  It is a big city with better hospitals. You will find a surgeon that is more experienced than in a small town.  Revisions are complicated and you need someone very trained and experienced.  Do you research and dont' just pick anyone.  You had trouble once, you dont' want trouble again.
