Looking Into Revision, Insurance, Dr. Udobi

Hi,

Had surgery in 2004. Barely lost 100 pounds. Now regain is killing me and my spirit. First surgery done through Heatlhnet/United Health, but no longer with them. I'm now with Humana PPO. 

 How does Humana handle Gastric bypass, and are they revision /DS friendly?
Does Dr. Udobi do revisions, or should I look elsewhere?

Thanks for the input.

I do not know.  Best thing to do is to either call both Humana and Dr.  Udobi, or get to the websites that hold information.  Though Dr. Udobi would be best to have a consult with.

If you are interested in revising to the DS, I would suggest that you post your inquiry on the DS board. Revisions are tricky, revisions to DS are trickier. They can lead you in the right direction to a good surgeon. I know many use Dr. Anthone in Omaha. Find a surgeon that has lot of DS surgeries under their belt. And you may want to check out www.duodenalswitch.com as well.

I had a DS with Dr. Bernita Berntsen in Topeka.  (Tallgrass Surgical)  NO complications and NO regrets!!

 I would HIGHLY suggest Minimally Invasive Surgery Hospital in Lenexa. I am not only a patient, I now work here :)
