Medicare Revision Policy?

I was wondering if anyone had a revision using Medicare?  If so does anyone know what there policy on revisions are?  I know it says they do cover them if you have an approved Surgeon and are having it at a Center of Excellence and then it says if certain criteria are met and I have not been able to find what that criteria is, does anyone know?  I am putting in for a revision from Lap Band to DS due to inadequate weight loss and having acid reflux but I am not sure that is enough.  I know that I still meet all the original criteria for WLS.  I have a BMI of 83, Type 2 Diabetes and I am starting to develop Hypertension.  Any help would be appreciated.  I am also going to post this on the revisions board.

Thank You!
