over 50

[Guest guest]

Dear Jane Wojo,

I am 51, and had the mgb in Jan. 2000. I went home the second day

post op, but Dr. R had not started doing discharges on the first day post op

yet. My post op pain from the surgery was about 2 to 3, and easy to manage

with the demerol pump. My pre-op BMI was 51, I weighed 330. I have lost 58

lbs, (my surgery was a revision and we lose a little slower). in 51/2

months. My co-morbidities are vastly improved, if not gone. I don't worry

about the amount of protein I get, I eat protein and veggies for the most

part, and sometimes have protein supplement if I don't think I have had

enough for a few days. I feel great and walk or work out at the gym several

times a week. My words of advice, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

Hello, Jo ! Thanks for your reply. I sent my info to Dr. R on 6/20 and

hope to hear that my insurance will pay for this without a big hassle. I

talked to the Claims Manager at the insurance company and she stated that

they have approved the surgery before. That's a start.

I'll Self Pay if I have to !!!!!!

Jo, I'm new to this MGB stuff. What is a revision? and Why?

Thanks for the scoop!!!!
