I met with him this morning and had a great meeting. He will do my R NY revision to DS. He also said he knows
the work of my original surgeon and it is possible the weight gain is from a failure of the pouch -- which means the surgery may be covered by insurance. I told him I would self pay but he wants to review the GIstudies (which have yet to be done) and if he finds what he suspects wants to try for insurance. I can't tell you how thrilled I am. I feel so lucky--he is literally 10 miles from my house. I hadn't dared hope this would be the outcome -- I was so sure he'd say no. I am flying!! Thanks for letting me ramble.
 
@Barbara I just re-read your post and yep I bet insurance will cover it. My insurance back in 2010 had a once in a life time clause so they weren't going to pay for my VBG to DS but my pouch was breaking down which changed whole ball of wax and they covered it. Good luck!
