THE BASICS - overweight all my life, thought about wls for many yrs , finally got the courage and started to Dr shop! Found a Dr who only did open procedures - Not Interested ( had a major hysterectomy and never wanted to be "opened up again " . Still Dr shopped awhile . Found Dr Blackstone in Scottsdale . Had Lap RNY July 06- awesome. Recovery was so much better, Lost 135 lbs - felt great !! But Stopped loosing after just 13 months - WTF my journey cant be over ...... Can it ?
So for the last 9 months my weight went up about 16 lbs , not happy not loosing, started to think about a revision .. I still have more than 100 lbs to loose .
Dr shopping was not an option this time! There are a couple Dr in the area that do revision , My original Dr does not !!! plus she does not take my ins - Bummer !!
Funny I came full circle and had my revision with Dr Schlesinger - the one I met years ago. He does revisions - Best Dr in area for them - My opinion I know !!! But others feel the same way !
I got a quick date , had an open procedure, healing great - was in hospital 1 day .. Home the next , up and walking, first trip out of house was 4 days . Started driving at 1 week.
Had my post -op appt at 9 days , lost 14 lbs - feel AWESOME!!!
