Hi all,
I am preop and still trying to figure out which procedure would be best for me.
I have a consultation with Dr. Ayoola next month (11/10), but they've already told me my BCBS (Federal) wouldn't cover DS at my BMI (41) without comorbidities. I haven't been to a PCP in years, so I have an appointment on Tues to do bloodwork and start a history in hopefully one place. Dr Ayoola's office sent me what they would require preop so I can get it done at the same time. I am in the process of gathering some medical records from various places to have a medical history. That being said, if I really don't have comorbidities, I'm not sure the "best" procedure for weightloss and maintaining that weightloss (DS) is best for me? Is it overkill? My 2nd choice is VSG. There is something about the stomach just hanging out in the RNY that just creeps me out.
Anyway, my name is Connie. Single mom to one teenage boy, 2 Frenchies, 1 Doberman, and a Fat Cat that could probably also benefit from VSG, but then who would keep our feet warm in the winter?!
