I am cross posting this to both DS and Revision boards. Thanks!

I am going to see Dr. Donovan Teel on November 13th. I already have a sleeve, but I also have a dilated fundus which has helped me-along with not adhering to a good diet-to gain back 50 of the 80 pounds I lost.

I am going to be inquiring about a DS revision. I have read that Dr. Teel has a rigorous screening process for his DS patients. I am fine with that. This is serious stuff and I have learned a HUGE lesson about all the wrong things to do after wls.

I am ready for the life change. Does anyone have any tips on making this a good visit? I want him to know that I am ready, wiling and able to comply. I am making a 4 hour journey to see him and I don't want to go in there looking and/or sounding like a fool.

I currently have Molina (Medicaid) insurance which is not taken at this office. However, the open enrollment period begins on Nov. 1st and I will choose whatever is the best option to work with Dr. Teel and his team.


Thank you in advance for any positive feedback.
