Hi, I'm Karen and I'm new here.
I had the RNY in 2008. I was 300 lbs - I lost 130 lbs and never reached goal. I have regained 30 lbs and consulted with Dr. Ayoola about a revision. My BMI is surprisingly too low for my insurance company (they require 50 or above, mine is 36-almost 37). Dr. Ayoola's office has started me with all the hoop-jumping to get to the point where they can ask for the revision, probably be denied, and then appeal. Has anyone else walked this road - and what has your experience been - not only with insurance covering a revision - but physically - how did you do with the revision itself? I'm in the investigation stage - so all information is appreciated. I'm reading as fast as I can Thanks!
