HOw do i know if i need a revision?/
Hi guys.I had open gastric bypass in jan of 09. I weighed 388 and i am down to 250. I got pregnant in oct of 09, and had a baby in june of 2010. I am still at 250, but found that i can eat way more. What exzctly qualifies you for a revision.
God never promised it would be easy, but he did promise it would be worth it.
Okay, im not 100% sure, but I think it's something like this:
1. If adequate weightloss has not been achieved or you are regaining,
2. you are suffering from complications.
3.you are losing too much weight
4. you are are having issues with vitamin deficiencies that cant be addressed through other means.
I think there are more, but I'm not sure.

Here is a sample of my insurance......
"Mechanical Failure" -- Usually diagnosed with an EGD and/or upper GI with small bowel follow through. I am having to prove "Medical Necessity". Go ahead and peek in my profile if you want to.
What kind of revision are you looking into? My suggestion is to go post this on another messageboard to get more responses........ Like if you were considering going from your RNY to a DS, then I would post this question on the DS board.
