band in 2006 band in 2012 and

I want to know if anyone went from band to band again only to want a third surgery. Also does insurance usually cover it? I was covered for the second band with a 1000.00 copay. Not losing weight. Always hungry. And gained 50 of the original pounds i have lost. Any advice is appreciated and which surgery would work for me thanks maraki

 

That depends on your insurance policy.  Most ins co's are changing to a once in a lifetime WLS.  You need to check your policy and find out.

You aren't going to get a 3rd band, are you?  I would quit playing games and just go for it and get DS.

I am band 2009, second band 2011 with a gain of 60lbs. Having band removal and RNY tomorrow. Self pay all 3 times. Darn Kaiser.

Wow how did you self pay for three surgeries? Do you pay monthly installments? Very curious? How is the third surgery going

Second bands are rarely successful and almost always require a third surgery. Be careful to get a surgery that will work because more and more ins. cos are going to one surgery per lifetime with any ins. co.

Thank you for your response. I need to see if i am eligible now! I sure hope so

Most I have seen report the second band doesn't work even as well as the first.  You have to check with your insurance to know what they will pay for.
