lap bander wants gastric bypass ins. pay?

Hi brandy, I am in the process right now of changing to bypass, some insurance companies make you wait a certain period of time before the band is concidered a failure and than they'll usually approve the switch. Mine was 16 months. I hope to have a surgery date Sept 5th for revision. Best of luck to you.

x-ray chic,

good luck with your surgery, I believe I am done with any thoughts of revision for myself but everyone has to make up their own mind. As I said so far my daughter has been successful at weight loss due to her RNY but it hasn't been an easy road without potholes. Right now I'm focusing on not dieting and being healthy and we'll see if I can get my band removed sometime in the future. Take care and good luck with your surgery, Nancy (brandyII & Nanook)
