Guest guest Posted July 14, 2004 Report Share Posted July 14, 2004 Hi Sid: Congrats on the revision. Didn't you have Blue Shield reimburse you for surgery? I think that was you!! If so, tell me how you did it?? Why didn't you have the revision done in N. Carolina? Was it easy for you to travel so far? I hear Dr. R trained so good guys in N. Carolina. Take care and good luck!!

Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 Sid - I have a question about revisions - what do they do? Make the stomach smaller again and / or bypass more intestine? How do you absorb nurtients if more intestine in bypassed. ? thanks Jane V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 15, 2004 Report Share Posted July 15, 2004 in the revisions that I have heard of Dr. R doing he has in most cases " snugged " up the stomach and then bypassed additional intestine. As for absorption - it makes vitamins and protein all the more important! in GA > Sid - I have a question about revisions - what do they do?

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2004 Report Share Posted August 7, 2004 Sid please email me privately,,, I was down by 130# , Averaged -120# for a year but am up 20# now and still easily 100# over weight...am going to become dedicated to watching what and how I am eating....but if no improvement in 6 months ..then I will be considering a revision. So I'd like to talk to you if you have the time. I'm still in the maybe I'd better leave well enough alone vs in for a dime in for a dollar stage. Would love to talk to you. Babybunion@...
