Hi, I had my R and Y in 3/2014: I lost a lot of weight, however it’s been now tricking back... can figure out why!
So my BMI is like 27.5 and realistically I need to get off 33 lbs
My question?
Will tricker pay for the endoscopic gastric revision? Does anyone know what it costs? And will tricker pay for any revisions?
Thanks

Call your insurance company. Ask if they cover revisions and what is their criteria for approval.

You can’t figure out why you are gaining weight? Are you eating your bariatric food plan? Are you logging your food? Are you staying within your weight loss calories and macros? Exercise and hydration?

Your not alone in having a weight gain years out. (i also had it my third year and worked it back off) 33 pounds is easier to work off than a 50 70 or 100+ gain. If you want to go the revision route thats fine.

If your interested here are some links on this forum that may help.

Tricare’s website doesn’t list revisions as a covered service but it doesn’t....NOT say that. It just has “unlisted procedure” as a non covered. If you pick a DS procedure instead of another rny it may pay. Definitely call Tricare and see what they can do for you. ??
