Revision Needed: Help Needed

Hi, I have been bad and not posted in a long time, I could not remember my password. I was Sheril. My RNY was done by Dr Deveney at OHSU 8/03. I have since gained 33 pds. When I went in at 4 months I told him, I felt something was wrong, I was able to eat more than my friend at 2 yrs out. He did not seem to listen. Then in Oct. I went to see him and he did a Barium Test (GI I think) and it showed there was a portion of my stomach left that is stretchabe, that should have been removed. He felt I needed a revision. Insurance has turned it down, however the only info they wanted was height weight and BMI. Oviosly I am overweight but my BMI is not over 40 like it was before. I am so scared that I will get there. I am at 205 now. Anyone get a revision approved? I have United Health Care. If someone has a letter they could share that would be awsome. Thanks, Sheri [email protected]
