Dana,

I had my RNY in 2002..... I had my EGD 2 months ago.  I am working towards an appeal.  Here is the e-mail to my doc's office who did my EGD 2 months back (My currentpouch measurements were not in the current report either).  Maybe you could contact the person who did your EGD, or their office, and specifically ASK for that information?

I was wondering if you would be able to help me.  According to my EGD, to me, it does not look like the measurements of my pouch were taken?  Would you please take a look for me?  Some of the medical ling I truly do not even know what it all means?  Maybe ask the doc if he took the measurements of my pouch?   I think this will help with my appeal.
