Go****s nice to see some folks from my area. I'm in Kannapolis. I have my first appointment with Dr.B. on 4/25/07. I have went ahead and scheduled some of the other appointments in April as well. ( Dr. Kelling, Northeast Psyc. and obgyn) I have been researching weight loss surgery for about a year. I want to find out more about the Fobi (banded RNY). It never occured to me my insurance might not cover it. I guess I need to look into that. Well, if I am approved at all. I haven't got that far yet. Hopefully there will be no problems. I am nervous and excited. I've heard so many good things about Dr. Bauman and his staff. kdmm

Topic: RE: Can a failed RNY be changed to a fobi pouch revision?

Hi, I hope this info is not too late, but I had a failed RNY as well. My original RNY was preformed in 2001 and I had a revision to the Fobi pouch in 2004 with great success. My only suggestion to you is to find a doc that performs this procedure on a regular basis and has a lot of experience with revisions. Regina

Topic: RE: Medical Alert Card

I haven't had the surgery yet, but just wanted to comment that a senior citizen's portion or half portion is better than a child's menu. Children's menus are often chicken fingers, hot dogs and things like that. I have a friend who had the surgery and gets senior citizen (half) portions with the card.

Topic: RE: Had my workup today in Hawaiian Gardens

I know what you're talking about... the long trip. When I had mine done, I traveled from Yuma, Arizona to Hawaiian Gardens and back. Once I finished all of the required tests, I got my date within like a week or so. However, I believe getting your date will depend on your insurance company, and how fast they get everything together. Good luck!
