Interesting. I just had a revision from RNY to DS with Dr. Ayoola. When I first started the process, it was open enrollment for insurance and I was tempted to switch from United Health Care to Cigna because the pre surgery diet was 3 months instead of 6 month. The insurance specialist at the time told me that Cigna DOES NOT approve for DS if the BMI is under 50. No exceptions, and appeals have been lost. I would advise anyone to investigate carefully both the companies health documents and the insurance company coverage documents.

When was your revision and how was the recovery and how are you doing now?
