    Default Another Chance????

    Can't stop thinking of my appointment tmrw with my Dr. I'm sleeved for almost 5 1/2 yrs with lots of weight gain. I am focused on hoping to be given a second chance to be a candidate for RNY. Since it is not a revision (maybe), I am praying Medicare will approve. I have checked with Medicare and an RNY is 100% COVERED. If not, my next plan is to do a liquid doctor supervised diet. I've done that also beore and loved it; losing 65lbs in 5 mths (length of program). So, I do have mental control.

    Hello
    Well I saw the surgeon this morning. And I have to say he was very adamant in his instructions on what I have to do within the next 6 weeks for my next appt in order for him to approve the RNY. Upon his exam I seem to have a fatty liver. And his concern of possible scar tissue from VSG in 2011. So he has ordered a Upper GI exam to see what my stomach is looking like.

    But ya'll know what, out of all the doctors I've seen throughout my life, this was the most eye opening. Because this is my life and my health. My husband is sooooo supportive. He said, "we can do this Babe"; together. He's not overweight .But knowing he has my back I know I will conquer.

    So, I'll be here on GS to get & give support here and work hard for the next 6 weeks.
