Our decision: We agree with you.
Thank you, Jazz! Diana and Larra have been so helpful through this whole ordeal, and they have helped so many others as well.
I believe that the DS is going to help me regain my health, and by regaining my health, the rest of my life will be a much higher quality of life.
I'm already feeling better just getting this monkey (decision) off my back!

CONGRATS Terry!!!!! It's a bunch of crap that Kaiser made you go through all of this to get the best but, guess what, you're finally getting the best!! I think the only justice for Kaiser will be all of the revisions that they are going to end up paying for over the next few years with the VSG. They should just train some damned Dr's already & quit screwing with people! Sorry, I just really hate Kaiser!
Won against big bad (SoCal) Kaiser for a Duodenal Switch Haven't heard of DS? Kaiser wants it that way. Come on over & read the truth.
Hit goal (Normal BMI) on 2-10-11! I LOVE my DS!!
My approval process timeline:
02/12/09 - Dr. refused to refer me for WLS
03/03/09 - Vented/whined about it on another board, planned to just wait until next year & switch plans
Let's see what happens!

**updates in blog** Thanks, Dana! I completely understand your frustration with Kaiser. Believe me! Like I said in an earlier post, I don't believe that Kaiser will start giving their patients the DS just because it's the right thing to do. I believe that Kaiser will have to be forced into it. Maybe, someday soon, Kaiser (and all the other insurance companies that harrass the bariatric patients who want the DS) will be held accountable for their actions. And if people like me (and you!) keep fighting back, I believe we have a better chance of righting this wrong.
Keep fighting the good fight, Dana. You're next!
