I Never Give Up

[SeattleLady 277]

I was referred to a long standing bariatric doctor. I found out that he does not believe in revision sugery despite the research (2019).

I am now in the process of finding a new doctor with approval for the procedure.

I am excited and scared as heck. I will never give up! So, here we start again!

Hi @SeattleLady-I had my surgery done by Dr. Sara Martin del Campo at Swedish. She was really great, I’d recommend her for sure.

Thank you so much! However, I am only covered in the United States really Texas. I had to go to court to get this far. I'm believing that there is a doctor within the mandated community!

Ah, I assumed by your name that you are in Seattle. Swedish is a hospital there :)

Lol I was moving to Seattle. Didn't make it lol! Thanks for the suggestion! I have limited coverage and need to go to a Center of Excellence in Texas that has a doctor within a limited network!

@SeattleLady Where in Texas are you? We have several here in the DFW area.

I found one in Houston. I'm waiting for approval and the next step in this process. It will take the full three month progam at least. Now, there is now a real chance for me to get this done! This is still a bit of a fight. Not sure why living in the state and working to pay for insurance? I have to fight for this life saving procedure (which is crazy)! Its big business and not good practices for patients.
