Looks like revision for me!

I saw Dr. Deveney at OHSU today.  We talked quite a bit about my current endocrine, malabsorption, and hypglycemia problems and he stepped out for a bit to consult with my endocrinologist.  He says he will write a letter to my insurance seeking approval of revision to a sleeve for me.  We ended up agreeing that a DS would most likely not be the best for me, considering the digestive problems I already have.  I'm fairly comfortable with this decision and will now wait to see what insurance has to say.  I will love being awake more than asleep if they'll approve this for me!

I so hope you get a speedy and positive reply from the insurance, waiting just makes it unbearable! Best of luck to you I hope this resolves all your issues!

Thanks.  I am a bit anxious but, as I told them yesterday, I've been dealing with this for a couple of years, so if it takes a few months to get the ducks in a row, I won't get too upset.  I'm already writing my appeal, just in case!!  They were impressed that I brought them a copy of my most recent blood work, my abdominal CT, and my blood sugar readings.  Way back when I tried to get my initial RNY, I realized the best way to get all your records together was to do it yourself!

Keeping my fingers crossed that the insurer will approve the revision to VSG!

Best of luck!

Thanks - Dr. D said he had no problem writing a letter for me.  I was supposed to go back up in two weeks, but couldn't get an appointment before four.  I guess we'll know before then!
