2nd Consult w/Dr. Von Rueden
I'm glad everything went well. Dr. VonReuden is an excellent surgeon. he did my friend's RNY and he has had no complications whatsoever. He was high risk, so Dr. V put him in ICU to recover so he would have the utmost care around the clock. Dr. V visited him every day the three days he was there in the hospital and spent time with him for more than just a few moments.
I have to say though, I think you may be mistaken about Aetna requiring you to lose 10% of your excess weight. I have Aetna now and they do not require that. I see Cira posted that Aetna did not require her to lose 10% either. Best of luck to you.
