Hi All,
I had my rny surgery in January of 2006. I went from 242lbs on the day of surgery to 175lbs one year later. I lost weight VERY slowly and was NEVER full. After that first year, the weight loss stopped. I stayed around 175 for about 2 weeks and then slowly (oh so slowly) started to gain. I am now back up to 210lbs and seeing no end in sight. I have high blood pressure and just started prilosec for an ulcer near the Gastro/duodenal junction and chronic inflammation of the stomach.
I am hoping that someone can help me to find a surgeon who specializes in revising the RNY to the DS in Pennsylvania. I would also like to hear from anyone who has Blue Shield PPO insurance - will they pay for a revision? I live in central PA but am willing to travel. Thanks for listening and for any help that can be given.
I also posted this on the DS message board.

Hi,
I live in Beaver County and I have blue cross and blue shield. I see Dr. Gagne at West Penn Hospital in Pittsburgh. I am scheduled to have an ryn revision in dec, because i too lost very slowly and gained back. I got pregnant in between and the drs actually found some problems with my original bypass and I have a hiatal hernia. He is EXCELLENT. You may want to check into seeing him. If you'd like more info email me at [email protected]. My name is Melissa. Put something in the subject line so i open the message. I can give more info about them and the insurance if you do.
