One bariatric surgery per lifetime?

I looked up in my insurance records and they charged over 40K for my lapband.  But, they are now paying $200 ever fill and unfill.   

BAND REMOVED 9-4-12-fought insurance to get sleeve and won! Sleeved 1/22/13! Five years out and trying to get that last 15 pounds back off.

 Luckily for me, I was able to get my slip fixed and the 2 years later a revision to the sleeve.  I have o say my insurance company is pretty darn good!

HI, I am having the very same issue. Were you dealing with UHC? So, they will cover another band but no the sleeve? I do not think I want the band again. I have gain 75 lbs already :(
