2.5 years post op, want a revision - will insurance pay?
I know every insurance company is different. Since day one of my surgery I have never felt that it was done correctly. Now two and a half years later i'm at the same weight I was a year ago. I am 5'6" and started at 260 pounds and am currently at 180-185(it flucuates) I haven't lost a pound for over a year now and I can eat a lot of protein - more than I should, I feel. I've always been able to eat a lot. But what i'm afraid of is that insurance wont cover a revision. Which isn't fair if the doctor didn't do the surgery correctly. On January 19th i'm seeing a different surgeon, i'm hoping he'll help me. I wear a size 14 and feel like a house, I look in the mirror and I see the same person 80 pounds ago, my belly is huge and it depresses me so. No matter how much I exercise, no matter how much carbs I cut, or how much protein i eat or how much water I drink i can't get below 180 pounds. Something is wrong with my pouch I just know it.... Another question is - if there is a staple disruption or something I wonder if insurance will cover it. ARGH the depression and stress of all this is enough to overwhelm a person beyond belief. Anyone else having these same issues? or have been thru this? Thanks in advance to all of you that repsond..... God Bless you ALL!
