Approved for revison RNY to DS

I was approved for revision surgery RNY to DS.  I would like to hear from anyone who had it and know how it went for them.  Any positive advice is welcome.  Surgery scheduled for 9/19/11.

You should also post this on the DS board.

congrats, there are many rny to ds on the ds board, suggest posting there

Congratulations, come on over to the DS boards. I had a revision from RNY to a DS last year.

Congrats!!!!!!  I am still trying to get approval myself, from RNY to DS.  GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!

I am sorry to hear that.   I know every state & every insurance is different, so I don't have any advice.  Here is PA, you have to have had a medical reason why the 1st one went wrong in order for insurance to pay at least on my insurance.  I really thought I would have to do a lot more fighting so I am very lucky and shocked. TBH I don't know how much I weigh, somewhere between 280-300 is my guess. I don't even want to get on the scale at this point.  I am sick of having headaches & just being so tired and lazy because of my sleep apnea that is caused by my weight. 

I don't know if CA has it but PA has a insurance commissioner who can turn over an insurance companies denial if you have a good case.  I was prepared to go there. Appeal appeal appeal or hit the lottery & pay for it yourself.  lol

I wish you the best of luck.

That's great news. I was revised a few months ago. Best of luck!
