Revision approved and date set!

That was fast! I was approved on the first try through BCBS. Revison date scheduled with Dr. Caruana (Buffalo, NY) for November 20th.

Original surgery was open RNY Gastric Bypass, and now I believe he is performing a revision to the distal small bowel bypass by shortening the common channel to add some malabsorbtion into the game. They did not do this when I had my surgery 15 years ago, and a lot of research has been done since with the hormones centered in this length of bowel and weight loss. I'll clarify and will edit this if needed.

They offered me October 23rd, but I needed to give my work time to find a sub and to get off of hormonal birth control.

Bought a couple tubs of Bariatric Fusion Protein Powder today, making Bone Broth and generally getting mentally prepared for the prospect of 10 days of the liver reduction diet and being on Clear Liquids for Thanksgiving. (No turkey smoothies. lol)

Super excited, as I've been trying to get a revision for about 7 years.

It couldn't hurt to consult your original surgeon and see. It depends on BMI and co-morbidity especially like the initial surgery.
