Two Year Post-Op

Aug 14, 2009

Well, what a difference another year makes.  Very long story short.... I am seeking a revision.  I have a hiatal hernia that my pouch is half way up through my diaghram and a stricture at the bottom of my pouch going into my intestines.  I am having problems eating dense foods and I am having heart burn acid issues too.  I also am in dire need to take NSAIDS for my joint pain.  OH and I am not even going to mention how much weight I have gained back!!!!!

Another long story short, my surgeon and I have agreed to revise me to the BPD-DS and are awaiting to see what my insurance company says about it.  At first it was approved and I had a surgery date of Sept 1st but I got a phone call yesterday stating that they had reneged on the conversion to the DS.  My surgeon is going to try and talk to them and get it approved or I can self pay for the DS.

Hollar back at me and tell me your thoughts...
