Debbie,

Have you been able to have your surgery yet? I cannot tell from your profile??

I am working on my last steps before submitting into the insurance company for my RNY to DS revision.

Take Care

No, I have not been approved for revision surgery by my insurance company yet.
And, I believe that Debbie, who started this post, is in the appeal process with the insurance company.

If you look at my Latest Posts (click on that, on the left side, under my picture) there are SEVERAL links to get information in my posting history. And the DS messageboard is a wealth of information too.

Good Luck on your journey.... and keep us posted!!!!!
