My options for a revision are all self pay, I have no co-mobilities which makes ohip covering it close to impossible. So my options are<br />
1) lap band $16,0000<br />
2) sleeve $15,000<br />
3) Laparoscopic Gastric and Jejunal Plication $10,000<br />
4) distal rny (he wouldn't perform because too risky)<br />
5) DS $25,000<br />
<br />
It looks like I don't have much choice right now except wait for our current loan to be paid off (4yrs)and take out a new one for surgery.

10/18/07 RNY ( hw 305 sw 290 lw 189ish) St Joe's 08/14/14 RNY reversal to sleeve. I survived 3 leaks,4 operations and a feeding tube.

Wow I am sorry you cant get insurance to pay.  Not sure if you can afford another monthly note but Care Credit is a cc solely for medical procedures, etc.  We have a pet one for our dog and my SIL got one for her plastics.  Good luck and I hope you have something soon!

 I am SO sorry to hear about your insurance.  They are quick to take our payments and quick to deny.  I have no suggestions but I wanted you to know how truly sorry I am.
