I had a lapband placed in 2008. I have had problems with it--namely a dialated esophogus and if I have the band tightened at all I vomit. I have SEVERE shoulder pain every time I eat and have since it was placed. I am new to Kaiser. I had my surgery in Mexico.
Here's my question. IF my band needs to come out will Kaiser pay for the sleeve? If so will they require that I met their BMI requirements at the time of surgery? What history will they require? Will I have to go through classes here?
If anyone has experience and can share theirs with me I would GREATLY appreciate it!!!!
