DMHC Denied my request
Sorry about your DMHC finding. Did you work with Diana or Larra? I know that they were able to get a local Sacramento lady back through DMHC after DMHC upheld her insurance. The 2nd time around, she won. I was ready to go to Brazil if I didn't win against Kaiser.

It's a shame you couldn't get things done at home.
I went to Brazil and had Dr. M do my revision, but it was from the Lap-band. He is a wonderful person and Dr. But I do want you to know upfront that Dr. M does not take down the RNY pouch and redo it into a sleeve.
I'm only telling you this because I would want to know that if it was me. I'm on the Yahoo group that is set-up for Dr. M's patients, you may want to check it out and read other patients posts and ask questions of them.

I have learned this by reading all the posts of people that have been to see Dr. Marchesini in Brazil, if they had the RNY already he may make the pouch smaller but he does not "redo" it. He feels it is to much of a risk to the patient.
I hope you get things done just like you want it to be.
Good Luck,
Inge

Since you are considering Dr. Baltasar, you might want to send Dina a PM as well. She may be able to help you with a few things.
