Has anyone been a self pay customer, had a problem with the band, got insurance to cover the repair?? I am frightened on a daily basis that the unthinkable will occur and I have to go back in for surgery to repair or replace the band. I am still paying for my surgery which cost $12,000 and if something went wrong that I had to incur costs, it would devastate me financially. I read on here where another bandster had a bill of $28,000 for an emergency slipped band repair. I am hoping to hear if someone got insurance to cover a repair being self pay to begin with and how they made it happen. This is very valuable information, if it exists, to many of us living in fear. Thanks

I think the answer can only be found by contacting your individual insurance company.

Your new picture looks great.

There are people on here that have had the band for at least six years, and many improvements

have been made since then. I don't think you have much to worry about just yet. Any problems

seem to be corrected easily. If I have any problems with mine ( unlikely) I'll deal with it then.

Now is the time to be losing weight, not freaking about what ifs.

Your new picture looks great.

Thanks!!
