Same Journey-New Direction

Jan 03, 2009

Just a little update here about something I have been pondering over the last month or so. I am going Duodenal Switch or nothing at all. I have really beat my head against the wall  studying this. The RNY at first seemed like my answer. Then I found the DS. I have decided after much soul searching that DS is for me. Unfoutunately I will have to change surgeons as mine doesn't offer the BPD/DS. That does make me a bit sad. I personally really like Dr. Mora. And so goes life.......

I know I will have one helluva a battle to get my insurance to approve, but I am arming myself (with a lot of help from a few other DSers) for the war. Luckily for me I work for a company that is self-insured. Blue Cross simply administers their policies for them. I will have to convince my company to overrule BC/BS once they deny me. I am still doing my 6 month supervised diet thing, and haven't reached the point of being denied by my insurance company.... yet!
