Yes, Dr. Yates and Dr. Mitchell in St. Louis do - but I imagine that is a little far for your commute?! They say it costs about $4,000 because you only pay for the actual procedure (Most insurace won't cover) and the rest is already covered (hospital stay) with the RNY. To go back and do it separately is about $16,000. Anyway, I've talked to several Yates/Mitchell patients who had it done and have been very happy. Worth checking out. Good luck to you.
