I have been approved for my revision!
~Sharon
As far as the codes, I am not familiar with those. I would hope to think the doctors office should know what those are and familiar with what the insurance company would need. I am so sorry to hear you having such problems. Have you spoke to your doctors office about this and make sure they are using the right codes? I will say an extra prayer for you this works out. No problem about venting at all. Thats why we are all here for each other. Take care, Sharon
That is wounderful news, YAY !!! I'm in the beggining stages to look into haven a revision done myself. I am from CT and had a Gastric Bypass 5 years ago Feb 10th. I was woundering why is the reason for you to have the revision? I lost 80 pounds the first year of my surgery, I also got pregnant the first year as well. I am up 60 pounds :O( and am haven issues with my intestines feeling like they are knotting up when I slouch over or I bend over. I just got a new referal to see my Gastroentonoligist who did my surgery. I have not seen him since I had the surgery, due to my insurance not paying for after care. I am so happy for you and can't wait to hear back from you.

The reason why I am having a revision sounds similar. I have a pressure on my left side that is constant. He is going in and resecting my small intestine. My stomach has not stretched like I guess he sees in alot of patients. Guess I have been doing something right. ;-) My surgery was about six years ago and lost around 150 lbs, but now have gained back about 30lbs. I still have about a total of 90 lbs more to get to goal. Then hopefully I can get a tummy tuck because its all hanging in the front and smiling if ya know what I mean. ;-) I am blessed because my doctor always said if you ever have a problem or you dont think something is right to always give him a call. I wish you luck in seeing your doctor again! ~Sharon
Sue, Thanks! I am not scared at all. I am looking forward to it. I have been lucky since I have been happy about my original and current decision. The main issue I am having is that there is a pressure on my left side that is annoying. I had my surgery back in 2005, lost 150lbs and gained back about 30lbs. I did not ever get to goal and am ready to do so. My surgeon has been doing gastric bypass for years and is an expert in his field. I know I am in good hands. I also have tried and tried to get the rest of the weight off however this pressure is really getting annoying. My surgeon said its a safe surgery and that its done lap which means quick recovery and yes you have to go back through the stages but for the most part I have been good with the eating. I would encourage you take an honest look as what you want, know this isnt the answer but the tool to help us achieve what we want and make that appointment and discuss with your doctor what is best for you. You sound like a good canidate. I would be happy to have you as a friend and keep in touch! Take care, Sharon
