Spoke with Dr Marema's office again

Jun 10, 2009

Well, I spoke with Geri at Dr Marema's office again on Tuesday.  The facility still won't reconsider their decision not to take Medicare anymore, so I thanked Geri for all of her help and support.  I will now go see Dr Nye.  When I worked at Tricare I sent alot of patients to him and have heard good things from the patients that I sent, but I chose Dr Marema because of the distance factor.  Oh well, I'll just have to see what Dr Nye says.

I've been doing alot of research on the rny and the ds.  I think I would really prefer the ds, but I can't find any provider that will take Medicare that is within a range of 4-6 hours, and I'm not sure I could afford to go somewhere else, so I guess I will have to stick with the rny.  I know several people personally that had the rny surgery and they did well, but they did not do revisions and according to my research it will be more difficult for me to loose the weight even if I have the rny, but I feel like I need the tool of the surgery to help me loose weight, and even if I only lost 100 lbs, that would be better than nothing.

I am more prepared for the surgery this time, so I feel like I will do better this time around than the first time.  I'll go for now, will write more after I see Dr Nye on Monday, the 15th.
