Has anyone else had a revision after a micropouch with a low BMI?

FaeryGodsister-

If you need NSAIDS, and already have approval, get the DS, and NOTHING else!!!!!!!!  PERIOD!!!!  Put off the surgery, and REALLY check into "settling" or getting the sleeve or the DS done.  I am 40, and revised from RNY to DS 11 months ago.  The clincher to get the DS was the ability to take NSAIDS again.  I am not getting any younger.

 

You always have the option of saying something on the consent like if the sleeve cannot be performed, to close you back up.  PERIOD.  You are paying him money, he is a business!!!

Can you tell me if the revision was covered as a medically necessay procedure? I have bcbs of mi and they will waive the diet plan if its medically necessary. I am going to go see Dr. L also
