Guest guest Posted September 26, 2006 Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Hi all - thanks so much for having me in your group. I became aware of Dr. K. when I met a nice lady named Kym at the DS support group in Seattle area a few weeks ago. She has done so well with her surgery and is an inspiration and kindly shared a lot of personal experience at the meeting. I am an RN, had an old fashioned " stomach stapling " approx 27 yrs ago and want a revision to DS. In my local area of Seattle, there really are not any experienced DS surgeons who have done this type of revision. I thought I would go to Rabkin in SanFran, but like so many others, am limited by my insurance (Cigna). But I was lucky to find that Dr. K apparently is within this network and of course, comes highly recommended, so I think this is the obvious choice. I am still in the process of jumping through the Cigna hoops, so don't anticipate having this surg til Feb or Mar. That's if they decide to approve the revision. If not, then it is back to square one! Not sure I could afford to self pay in the States. Thanks for the opportunity to learn from all of you.
