This is it. I have fought for a revision for 4 years. I used Kelly Lindstrom @ Obesity Law thru every battle. Unfortunately with my HMO's that I had, it was a wasted battle. Obesity Law could not do any more than they did. After the 2nd time going to the state to get a reversal of the denial, I decided to wait for my open enrollment. I changed over and started immediately.....but was quickly diagnosed with a tumor in my back that required 3 surgeries to remove. Well I started back on my revision journey the day after my clean bill of health was was given. My PPO with Anthem Blue Cross was amazing. I was approved the 1st time. I totally credit the team Dr Owens has over there @ the Chapman Medical center in Orange CA. My surgery is this Wednesday, June 1,2011. I am sure this is the best option for me. I am getting a band over my small stomach. I had a EGD last Friday and the Dr said he had never seen such a big post-bypass stomach. I never understood why all my friends were dropping weight and not me. I worked out 5 days a week for an hour and 1/2...still nothing. When my hip blew out, all physical activity stopped. I still dump...so I do not eat sugar sweets or binge. The capacity was always the issue and problem. I am so excited to have restriction...the restriction I never had. I will be able to control the restriction now. After all the health issues (cancer tumor) I have had...this is my best choice. Finally it is my turn...I was sick of waiting for the approval that never came. Well I have it now. It is on the nightstand, in writing. FINALLY I WON. Kisses to all my revision sisters (& brothers).
Please think of me we this Wednesday with prayers and positive thoughts.
