If you have lost down to below a 35bmi then start having serious issues/complications with your band will they still do a revision on you?

Will they still do a revision on you?

Depends on who you mean by "they".

A surgeon will do a revision if the patient is having complications or issues with their band. They may even do it if the patient isn't having complications but wants a revision.

Whether the patient's insurance company approves the revision depends on the individual policy. Some policies allow for only one WLS in a patient's lifetime. My insurance company approved my band removal and revision to sleeve despite my normal BMI because my surgeon provided evidence that the revision was medically necessary.

Thanks Jean i was hoping you would reply

My ins co paid for what was supposed to be revision and ended up bein a removal and then approved the replacement of either band or sleeve and I was almost at goal weight. The argument is that it took the band to get you to your weight nd you would still need the band for maintenance. Now they may have approved mine because I think we all new surgeon 1st surgeon screwed up. My stomach was adhesed to my spleen which I believe was an inexperienced surgeon touching something w instruments he shouldn't. If they don't approve I would definitely appeal w or without an atty. but because it's a complication of first surf they usually will ok it.
