UPDATE DR. HUSTED AND MORE ???

I have been talking with Dr.Husted.He will now be practicing in Phoenix Arizona at Arizona Weight Loss Solutions.He won't be set up until sometime in June 1st.He will be doing the DS.If I can get all my info together and can get approved he will be doing my surgery. I found out Priority Health will cover the take down of my VBG. My big fight will get them to cover DS. Dr Husted thinks if not he might get them to cover the sleeve.My questions are. Do any of you have problems eating raw vegtables and dip? Do you have problems getting things stuck? I haven't had a raw veggies,a bite of steak or anything like this since 1999 and I do not want this again in my life.I would rather just do a take down if that is the case.
I also want to tell all of you that I read all of your posts.Do any of you have any suggestion for writing a letter or what I might do to help convince the insurance to approve revision to a DS?

Any luck? I am considering Dr. Husten.
