I saw Dr. Keshishian yesteday...
...and I loved him. I had a helluva time getting an appointment but it was all worth it. If you want a DS, you HAVE to go see him. He does his presentation personally and he explains everything in full Sharpie color for you to take home! He is outraged that Cigna will not approve my band removal even though I have been diagnosed with esophageal dysmotility. He totally gets it. My husband told me recently to just "try harder" to lose weight and Dr. K gave me enough ammunition to be able to discuss the surgery intelligently with my hubby who is NOW coming around... he actually told me "whatever you need, we will do it!" Yeah!
So if you are in need of revision, go to see Dr. Keshishian. He is also hilarious.
I see Dr. Crookes next week and then I'll send my appeal to the DMHC. Wish me luck!!!
