Revision

I was hoping that someone knew of a Dr. In OKC that will do a revision from a VBG to a RYN? I am 5 years post op and have gained back alot of weight in the last year. I wish I would have waited and done a RNY. I had a lot of people warn me!!! I couldn't find a doctor at the time to do a RNY. Any help would be great!! Also, does anyone know if Cigna PPO will pay for a revision after paying for the VBG? Thank you!!

i know that Dr. Pearce in Edmond has been doing these

I had VBG in 2002 and am now seeing Dr Pearce for a revision to RNY. I'm still trying to get thru the insurance hassles but hope to have my surgery later this month. Dr Pearce is the only doctor I've ound who will do a revision. My original surgeon, Dr Jett, no longer does VBG and found out that my insurance, Aetna, no longer covers VBG but does cover revisions. From what Dr Pearce told me, VBG has a high failure rate. Call Dr. Pearce's office and they can tel you if CIgna covers it.

Dr. Gorospe in Tulsa does revisions. My friend used him She is very satisfied.I think he is a remarkable doctor!!
