Revision from VSG to DS covered by Kaiser N California or Medicare???

Have you or anyone you know of been successful at getting Kaiser Northern California or Medicare to cover a revision from VSG to DS?

Almost 2 yrs ago I was injured quite badly in a car accident which I am still recovering from. I had my VSG 1 yr before the car accident and was initially quite successful.

Now I am only down about 25 lbs since the surgery (although still down about 150lbs from my highest weight). There are so many issues at play it’s difficult to determine what caused the weight regain but I think it is largely due to having traumatic brain, spinal and other injuries which have not allowed me to fully follow my food plan or exercise.  Adding in depression and profound fatigue as a result of the accident with a re-occurance of serious thyroid issues and menopause it has been a difficult couple of years all round.

The weight loss allowed me to feel freedom in my body for the first time ever. I want that back.

Currently I have COBRA coverage with Kaiser N Cal and eventually hope to have Medicare coverage.

Any insights or suggestions on how I could possibly get a revision to DS covered?

Thanks very much for your feedback.
