    Are you inquiring as to whether or not insurance companies will COVER the switch from lap to gastric bypass if a person doesn't lose weight with the band?

    lizrd--- Are you inquiring as to whether or not insurance companies will COVER the switch from lap to gastric bypass if a person doesn't lose weight with the band?

    Hey, lizrd, I'd like to know the answer to that one myself-WOULD the insurance co. cover a gastric bypass if the band was unsuccessful? Or does it depend on each person's individual insurance and/or circumstances? Just a lil' curious.
