I am most concerned about complications. I will likely be self- pay and am concerned about complications causing me to be in the hospital for longer than expected. Would I be responsible for all hospital and doctor costs after the surgery or will the insurance company (Keystone Health Plan East) be accessed to pay those costs? Has anyone had a revision RNY to DS and not had complications requiring them to remain in the hospital for longer time? Also, I have had 2 minor strokes. Will I clear for anesthesia? I know no one is able to give medical advice;this is just one of the things I worry about. I also know that Dr. Greenbaum can/will answer these questions when I see him. I need to be patient. I am most concerned about the costs I would be responsible for after surgery. I need to do this, can't have a third stroke which could be a doozy, and need to establish a healthier me. I do noit want toi get my hopes up and not be able to see this through.
Thanks to everyone here. You are so informative and patient. I really appreciate you all.
