Thank you guys. I had an endoscopy done on the 11th and my follow up with the surgeon on the 15th. He’s going to put in the paperwork with insurance soon to see what all i have to do. It is a different insurance than when I had the surgery so I’m hoping I don’t have to do the whole process over again. Ugh

I am looking to get a revision From the band to the sleeve. I got my band in 2009 and had went from 249 to 145. Had a pretty bad slip in 2016 and the ER doc didn’t know what to do so I had to guide him while take fluid out. He was a bit heavy handed and I think he damaged the port. They can’t refill the band because they think the port has disconnected from the “hose”. I’ve steadily gained and am back up to 220. My doc wants to remove my band and convert to the sleeve We are just now in the starting process and I’ve worried my insurance won’t cover it!! ?
