Request copies of your operative report and also the report from the upper GI x-rays. You are entitled to copies of your medical records (there may be a small fee). If the surgical group doesn't have your operative report, the hospital will. These reports will tell you whether you had a DS of just a sleeve.

So I'm 17 months out have on!y lost 50 pounds. I went to back to place I had surgery they did ultrasound, upper GI and ex ray. The doctor who did the surgery is gone the new doctor said he did the sleeve but it don't look like he did the switch but they billed the insurance company for the DS I can't find a attorney to take my case in advice would be greatly appreciated. This was my last shot at weight loss the only option was diet pills I'm so frustrated
Due to the nature of my lifestyle and business, I always feel inclined to recommend a natural way to find solutions to any health problem. I firmly believe we can develop proper nutrition habits that will help our bodies return to or form brand new ways of efficiency. Weather that be lowering AST and ALT levels or simply increasing our ability to utilize fats or carbohydrates effectively, whatever the case in any given situation i think we can do ourselves a big favour by educating ourselves on how our body functions optimally when we give it what it was designed to receive through food. Of course i believe medicine can help as well, just advocating proper nutrition first. Take a look at this article here at medicalnewstoday.com, it might help provide some suggestions on where you could begin implementing some good habits into your diet and lifestyle. Hope it helps!

Why are you having a biliopancreatic diversion without DS? Is that done often?

OT: I'm working with Dr. Elariny right now to schedule a revision of my RNY to bipancreatic without DS. I'd love to chat with you! I'm in Ashburn. Thanks in advance!
I'm so glad i found others with same issue. No one else i know suffers from eating Cheerios. N it's every time. I threw the rest outside for the birds. My stomach cannot handle it. It's the most embarrassing issue. N i have had it since Tuesday.
You would still have a sleeve and the sleeve is a tight system that can cause GERD. Reversing to RNY is what many people have to do to get rid of the GERD. There are cases where patients had RNY to control GERD even if they were not overweight.

Where are you? I am in Chicago and had surgery at U of C. Medicare and medicaid completely covered it.
