Depends on your insurance, what they cover, and what their requirements are. Some policies only cover certain procedures and not others.
But if, for example, they cover both the band and RNY and have the same pre-certification requirements for either, then no, it shouldn't matter.

There are more ins companies unwilling to cover the duodenal switch, but most companies that cover WLS will cover both lap band & RNY.
