Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 - When you say tweak your surgery, do you mean make your tummy smaller? Is that what would help the diabetes?

However, he thought they were over complicating things and will send them his recommendations. He also gave her a shot of vitamin A before we left! That was awesome...especially since I didn't need one! *lol* Once again I was surprised by Dr K's take on my situation. He really thinks I should have the DS tweeked. Of course that would mean I would have to get reapproved for the DS all over again, which at kaiser means lots of appeals, and then deal with recovery all over again. Being so far out...I just don't know if I could do that again.Anyhow, he is sending my PCP all the info and I will continue to contimplate it! For him, it is really about the diabetes. He thinks that going back in would kick it. Thought I'd just let you all know what I had been up to. I have a new position at work and so I am spending tons of time training my replacement and trying to learn the new job all at once. *sigh* C **** and Vicki Plough **** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 " Tweeked " is my word. *lol* He wants to see what size my stomach is first and then they would probably make my stomach smaller and shorten my common channel. I think mine is 100cc but I forgot to ask.
