Guest guest Posted November 20, 2003 Report Share Posted November 20, 2003 I talked with my doctor who is very hesitant to do a revision, thinks I should have sheer will to lose weight, though my stoma is large. I am managing my blood sugar, and have my diet in control. I have joint problems and trying to avoid surgery and also have reflux which is burning, possibly the stomack. Dr. said my insurance (Medicare and Oregon Federal Regency Blue Cross) will not cover revision. I told him it was up to him to write it as medically necessary. I need ideas and connections. I am scheduled December 8th. If I can't get it covered I will have to pay, (he said 11,000) I think that is wrong anyway. If my doctor won't do it under insurance, I need to find a doctor who will. Living on social security does not give me any money to run up medical bills. Thanks. Ruby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
