Hi everyone, hoping to find people who are going through the same as me or havta already had their revision done. I had RNY back in 2009... I founght for every pound lost ..one month after my surgery I had shattered my foot n was wheelchair bound for over three months... The pain meds they gave me started to ulcers on my stoma ...which in turn helped slightly enlarge my stoma and pouch... I only lost about 90lbs... Most of wich is because I only frankford protein shakes for two months straight to help my weight which when I went back to food,..I started over eating ... I now have problems with my sugars..I'm hypoglycemic. I am almost don't all my tests to have my surgeon submit to my insurance for a rny to DS revision I'm so nervous n afraid my insurance will deny it. I am so close to 300 lbs again and fight to not gain, I can eat like I used to.
need advise ... Have BCBS of PA anybody have their revision approved my BCBS ??? Thanks.
