Guest guest Posted April 19, 2001 Report Share Posted April 19, 2001 > Could anyone please tell me where to find out info. on all types of restrictive surgery? I went to one of the site; Regence Policies on Morbid Obesity. I think that was the name of the site. Anyway, it was extremely useful; it had the accepted CPT codes but I was still not able to discern the meaning of the term 'RESTRICTIVE' in terms of a Weight Loss Procedure. Can someone explain this to me? , The following are some of the sites that I used during my research for Weight Loss Surgical procedures. While some of the sites are focused on a particular procedure, most include comparison information. I chose to have a Gastric Reduction with Duodenal Switch, based on that research. My surgeon is Dr. Ara Keshishian at Central Valley Bariatrics in Delano, Calif. I had my surgery on February 19th and have lost 42 lbs to date. Dr. Keshishian currently performs DS open, but announced at our last meeting that he will begin performing Lap starting this summer. If I can help with any other information, feel free to contact me.
