My Doc suggest revision to RNY insead of VSG or DS

my insurance (BCBS IL) only would cover for the RNY from the band. The DS I was told left you with little absorption. I am only 3 wks out and have already lost 22 lbs.. I am happy to get rid of the crap band. Good Luck!

You were LIED to about the DS.

Hi all, I am a RNY patient that had a RNY revision. For me - I would do it all over again if I had to. I love my pouch. It also depends on your surgeon. I have had no malabsorption issues at all and this is since 2007. I did not lose my hair or nails. Each surgery comes with its own issues. I know RNY is not for everyone but it does work. My revision we on 5/16 and a pericardial patch was placed. I will not be able to gain weight again. The pericardial patch is not elastic. Therefore no stretching.

Check surgeons and find one willing to listen. Good luck

Oy.  Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

I am so sorry to hear that I would appeal it.
