Hi All,
I've been a "lurker" for the past few months. I finally made myself official by becoming a member.
I am hoping to have a gastric sleeve revision to a duodenal switch. My original surgery was December 2011. I went from 290 pounds to 229. Within a matter of time, I slowly fell into old habits.
Today, I am 290 pounds and disgusted! My surgeon, Muhammad Jawad's office received a denial from my insurance carrier Empire BCBS for the revision due to non-compliance. We are now working on an appeal. I'm undecided on whether I should travel out of state for the DS procedure. I'm praying that my procedure will be approved after 3 months of monitored diet attempts.
