Kaiser Coverage Of Revision Surgery

[CamarilloCA 41]

I had a BMI of 36, with no co-morbidities. I had the vomiting and couldn't eat anything but sliders. My PCP referred me to a bariatric surgeon, who wanted to get the band out post-haste. I had upper GI but no classes. Between referral to bariatrics and revision was 2 weeks.

Hi Bionic, I'm supposed to see Dr. Mun tomorrow! I am so excited and thrilled. I have the same situation you had. I have a slight slippage but everpresent abdominal pain. I am hoping that he will agree with my desire to have the band removed and a sleeve put in. Can you tell me your thoughts on Dr. Mun, and were you happy with what he did for you?

Thanks!

I am so excited for you! There's not anything that Dr. Mun could have done to make me love him more. He is wonderful, and you are in very capable hands! My 3-month follow-up is tomorrow. God bless!

Thank you so much for the reassurance! Your story has really comforted me so thank you for sharing that! I'm going to be there tomorrow at 1:00. If you will be there too around that time, I'd like to give you a hug!

My appointment is at 10:30. I have to drive an hour and a half to get to Harbor City. I'd love to meet you, too. I hope it works out!

Thanks very much. I am coming from Camarillo so I have a drive also. I have no idea how long it might take from where I am given traffic conditions. I am about 70 miles away, and so it will probably take me an hour and a half also, but I'll probably come like an hour early just in case there is a lot of traffic. I am really excited. I was afraid I was going to have to live with this pain for months longer.
