OH, my...finally! A WLS board with smart people! Glad to have found this place. Here's my story. I'll do my best to keep it short. In 1988, I had a VBG, weight loss, regain. 2007, RNY, weight loss, regain. 2010, diagnosed with a fistula after experiencing regain and pain. Lost my insurance, re-got my insurance,...then I decided on revision to DS. Insurance decided otherwise.
I had a revision from RNY to RNY Oct of 2014. Surgeon found an unusually short roux limb while in there. Didn't fix it but instead took me more distal. I don't understand his thinking, but...whatever. I can't think too hard about it or I just get pissed. I continue to be in pain, and vomit pretty much daily. Bile. Due to the short roux limb, I have bile reflux, and gosh does that suck.
Anyhow, I contacted a surgeon in Cali, one I'm sure you're all familiar with...his name rhymes with, well...nothing. He somehow,amazingly got my insurance company to approve my revision to DS with a BMI of 27. Like can you say woo hoo? I'm looking forward to a pain free, pukeless life. Surgery date is 5/28.
So, to sum it up, I'm a VBG to RNY to distal RNY to soon to be DS. Enjoying the reads. Thanks y'all.
