Guest guest Posted January 15, 2004 Report Share Posted January 15, 2004 My name is Debbi, and I had open rny Nov 2002. I am 14 months postop and have only lost 72 lbs. I stopped losing weight at 5 months postop. I saw my surgeon today for my year exam (I know, I am 14 months, but I could not see him in Nov or Dec). He looked over my file, and he found some pictures of an endoscopy I had at 3 months post op, and he saw my stoma was about the size of a half dollar...so he had his nurse call my insurance and it turns out my insurance will cover the procedure. He is going to open me up on Feb 19, and stitch my stoma so it is smaller. I hope the stitches hold, I am getting a second go at this, and by golly will do liquids for weeks to make sure my stoma is healed well. Thanks for listening to me, I am excited, nervous and relieved. Debbi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
