I checked with OSU when I was researching last year, and they told me they performed only RNY. Have they finally joined this century? Welcome and tell us more about yourself!

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2001 Report Share Posted May 11, 2001 Hi Stefany, In my search to have this surgery I discovered something about the insurance co, Let your surgeon contact the insurance co about the DS. They know the codes to use and how to explain why you need this surgery above all others. Have you decided on a surgeon yet? If Dr. Maguire is in your network, he does both the RNY and the DS. There would be no need to tell the insurance you're considering changing if you go to him. Then he can take it from there and get the final approval for the DS. Let me know how it goes. I hope you get what you want! Angel --- Stefany Blevins sblevins@...> wrote: > , No the drs. in Columbus do not do DS > surgeries.
