Guest guest Posted October 25, 2000 Report Share Posted October 25, 2000 I was turned down for my surgery today by my insurance - Oxford Health Plans. They claim that there is a dr. in network that does this surgery out of Mt. Sinai Hospital in NY. I still plan on being a self-pay at this point, my paperwork is in, my reservations are all booked, and I have the utmost faith in Dr. R. The dr.'s name is Gagner, and Dr. R was nice enough to tell me a few days ago that he's a good surgeon. However, as I understand it, there's no way he's doing the MGB, just probably something similar. I'm calling his office tomorrow just to satisfy my curiosity, though. Does anyone know anything about him. Obesityhelp.com only has info on him about the RNY lap, and it even states that it's 3 - 7 days hospital stay. If anyone has researched Dr. Gagner is your travels, I'd appreciate the information. As I said, I'm sure I'll be in Durham on 11/15 as scheduled. I just wish they hadn't thrown a " financial guilt trip " on me by mentioning someone else Oh, and by the way, ....go for it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
