Hoping for a revision

Hi everyone! Hoping for some help and guidance. I had the RNY May 2003, and was very successful with a 150 pound weightloss down to 145.  After time and the birth of my last child 45 pounds has been added back on. 

I do believe I wasnt doing as well as I should with my eating habits so I went back to basics.  I did one of those "bootcamp" exercise" for 1 month in addition to 45 minutes cardio. After the "bootcamp" I continued my exercise for 3-4 days a week.   I also paid close attention to my calorie intake.  However, the weight wasn't moving.

I called and made my yearly check up appointment with my surgeon.  I am hoping to speak with him about a revision.  Can anyone give me some guidance on a revision:

1. Does it have to be medically necessary? I am 50 pounds over my lowest weight.
2. I have BCBS POS GA insurance, do they pay for the revision?
3. Do I need to ask my surgeon to check my pouch? 
4. Is surgeons willing to do the revision?

You might post on the main board or the revision board and see what you can find out.

Most of us here are July newbies.

Lots of luck.
