I had surgery, revision from distal rny to DS ON 10/30. I Felt good about the surgery until I woke up. When dr got in, my insides was so filled with adhesions it took 2 hrs to cut everything apart before even being able start any part of the surgery. I need high doses of pain meds due to the strong pain meds I have taken daily for 7 years. It was a day b4 the pharmacy figured out the Dilaudid pump was the equivalent of a baby asprin in my system. Then things went from bad to WORSE. Started bleeding stools of blood. BP DROPPED to 70/32 had to have emergency blood transfusion of 2 of blood. Next day another transfusion. Next day I had an asthma attack after 5 or 6 years! Wtf finally day 5 they kicked me out! I regretted having the surgery.  I wished I could blink back to b4 being touched. Me and my adult children watched my mother suffer and die the month before. I felt so guilty that i jepodized hurting my children so soon after my mother passing. I was so sure i was going to die by day 2 i stopped them from coming to the hospital. I didn't want them to watch me suffer and die also. But here I am day 9 I feel like I may make it! I'm feeling a little better each day.

Dr. Juarez's office called and said CIGNA called the about a preauthorization for surgery in California a revision To RNY. I told her i wanted the DS and she said well I thought you were getting the 1st part of the surgery now and he was going to switch me later. I said he told me he would never ever give me a sleeve I Was too small. I called CIGNA and talked to the preauth. department on Wednesday. Friday I called to check and my surgery with Dr. Keshishian has been approved.

Well if i am approved why am i not happy? In a terrible turn of events my mother is in ICU fighting for her life since Sunday. She Went to surgery to have a kidney stone removed. She has pulmonary fibroids. She told them not to give her all that saline her lungs couldn't handle it they insisted and damaged her lungs to the point of no repair of recourse. Afterall, she has been a RN for 40 years plus she knows her disease.Now because of their stupidity she is going to pass way too young! Man it hurts so bad! What hospital you ask John C Lincoln Deer Valley phoenix, AZ. If i get run over in their parking lot don't take me there!

I got a phone call Monday at 8:00 on the dot.  My surgery has been approved.  My representative stated that once she faxed over all of my doctors notes from all of the doctors I have been to and CIGNA saw how many of $$thousands$$ of my own dollars I have spent attempting to make the best out of my first gastric surgery they  reversed their decision and approved it.  Since they were not willing to do it because their was a failure of the surgery itself we were just going to apply by completing the requirements as if it were a new surgery.  But THANK GOD I didn't even have to go through all of that!!! So I am waiting on the scheduler to call me and I am expecting that I will be having surgery no later than the second week of August!!!!
