I am seeking a revision and I have Medicare and Medicaid. Can someone please send me the link to the Medicare/Medicaid website that has a listing of all of bariatric surgery revisions that Medicare will pay for? Thanks!

 What you should do is find surgeons that do revisions and then ask them if they are Medicare provider.

The link however is:

Thank you! I have a potential revision surgeon. He just performed an endoscopy on me this past Tuesday and will go back to him this Monday to discuss surgery options. Unfortunately, he does not do the DS. I just wanted a listing of revision surgeries that Medicare would cover.

 Hello,
My position is that DS is the best and the only revision for other failed weight loss surgical procedures.
Thanks
