December 23, 200520 yr I may have a leaky port/band does ins pay to replace that?? what if the band is the leak? do they warranty it? does ins pay for it?
December 23, 200520 yr Mine is leaking too. I had a port revision in November and it seemed that it was ok until I got a fill and it was too tight then when I went back to get some of the fill taken out becaue it was too tight then it started leaking. I went back and had another fill up to 1.4 and went back the next day and had it checked and was down to .8 so I am going back through the whole insurance approval thing to have my whole band replaced. My dr said it is best to just change the whole thing.
December 23, 200520 yr they did tell me at my dr's office that their experience is the insurance will pay because it is a faulty device, not your fault.
December 29, 200817 yr Good News In October 2008 I finally got my port replaced which took care of the leak. I wasnt getting anywhere with my previou doctor but we moved to the DFW area in Dec of 2006 and when I finally found a dr he had to jump through ins hoops but finally it worked and I got it fixed and have already lost 24 pounds since then. Just wanted to update everyone that it will get better I was getting very discouraged in the process but it turned out well.
