Dumping is a medical condition so hopefully that works. FYI - my 22 year old son had debilitating gastroparesis with nausea all the time from food rotting in his gut from not emptying. Dr K proposed a rouxen y limb off the greater curvature of his stomach with a large anastomosis to basically gravity drain his stomach. Naturally a RnY is thought of as a weight loss surgery but Dr K bypassed hardly any small intestine just dumping it in right after the duodenum and he still had some food go out the pyloric route. In any case, even though we thought they might have denied calling it a weight loss surgery when he wasn't significantly overweight, he got approval for us. He did wonders for Cameron and fixed several other things for Cameron during that surgery.Thank you! I did check mine. Bariatric surgery and more importantly for me revision surgery. Submitted all of there pre requisites and now cross my fingers. My only fear is too low BMI. Dr K hopes the "letter of necessity" he writes will be enough.
I have no doubt he will get you approved as well.
BTW he also got me approved for my revision to my DS even though my original DS was 23 months earlier.
I am hopeful he will get your revision covered for you as it is a medical necessity. Best wishes
