From Illinois to Texas!! Hello there!!!

Hello all!
I joined OBH back in 2007-I was 300 pounds when I first got RNY Nov. 21 2007 in Chicago by a wonderful surgeon and her team!
I lost 100 pounds by Dec. 2008(Yay!) and then we became pregnant with our third child! My company them moved us to Plano, TX(Just outside of Dallas) and we love it here!
Pregnancy was ok- other than having my labor stopped at 33 weeks(NOT fun) but I had a healthy baby girl OCt 21 2009 at 39 weeks....

So, Im getting the RNY revision-

Saw my surgeon yesterday(Dr. Alexander in Dallas- he is AWESOME!!) and he explained the procedure and why I am now able to eat just about a full meal, I dont dump anymore at all!! I still drink 70- grams of protien daily, but I eat like 8 times a day..Im always hungry!! ARGH!! Ive gained back almost 50 pounds since giving birth and Im not happy...

Ive done the 5 day test-fail
Increased exercise-fail
increaded protien-fail
stopped drinkning 30 mins before and after eating-fail

I have an upper endoscopy scheduled for Monday-to see if what he explained to me has happened- that my small intestine has now become a "new" stomach
He is also removing my old stomach(leaving in about 6 cms) to reduce hunger pains....

They said I should be approved as soon as they get the pics from the appt. on Monday...if what he exdplained to me is going on, he said that United will approve same day...(fingers crossed!)

I hope so as I am anxious to get back on the road to weight loss and meet a few friends along the way!!!!!!

How is everyone today??

Hi, 

  

I had a revision from VGB to RNY in 2009 and have no regrets or problems getting insurance approval.

Wishing you the best on your revision journey.
