Stretched pouch

I had Roux-en-y 11 yrs ago, gained back 85 lbs. Just did testing to see if I have a fistula. I do not, but they did say my pouch is stretched and big. I have to wait until Feb 8th to see my surgeon, I was just wondering if anyone knows if insurance covers this type of revision, and how likely is the surgeon to repair this? Thanks.

I had my RNY in 2001.  I am having my last test, Endoscopy on Dec 5 then my Surgeon will decide what to do, if anything... I'm thinking I would like a revision to a DS. 

I need something i can't lose no matter what I do!    I need to loose this 80 pound regain.

Hi there,

I am experiencing the same thing and am wondering how your appt went in Feb. and if you found out anything about your insurance covering.

Hope things are going well for you,

Tracy
