I had my lap band and gall bladder out Jan 2015, I am retired Tricare, I have 5 comorbilities and my bariactric surgeon is requesting approval for the bypass now. Does anyone know if Tricare will cover this as a 2 stage revision after the lap band is removed?

I don't know but get that lap band out.I too am trying to get a bypass revision...lapband is pure misery...

Pinkgirl I think bch said her lapband was removed, along with her gallbladder in Jan 2015.

I got my Lapband in 2008 and I Almost died last year so now I'm looking into revision also my lap and aspirated into my left lung and caused my left long to start collapsing ... I spent three weeks in ICU I don't wish the Lapband on anybody....

I am awaiting revision.I have pains in my body and shoulders on the left side..,band has flipped and it is on its way to erosion....

How long ago did you get yours?

No they are not... Don't post if your grumpy... No one wants to help people like you !

Actually MyMeshelle, the OP has every right to ask.

Make your own post that has to do with you!

Or PM with the other poster that is having lapband problems and talk amongst yourselves.

You're the one that's grumpy and with you jumping down the OP's throat - nobody will want to help you! That was totally uncalled for.
