RNY Revision

Hello:  I just joined the group.  I'm interested in obtaining information from anyone in the group who has had an RNY revision.  I had my surgery in 4/03, obtained my goal weight in 2005 and started regaining weight after I had four knee surgeries and was unable to do my routine walking exercises and water aerobics.  If there is someone in the group who has had revision surgery, please let me know if it was difficult for you to have it approved by your insurance company, did you do a distal versus a proximal and did you have any problems from having a second surgery.  Thank you very much for your help in my decision.

Dear GBC,

I hope that you will get some responses. I know that we have a few members that have had revisions. I believe the revisions that I'm aware of have been from lapband to rny. I would like to suggest that you consider cross posting  this note to the revisions forum and possibly main forums as well. Sometimes casting a wider net will garner you more fish to filet... if you know what I mean. 

Wishing you all the best,
