I have had lapband for almost two years and I,m not having great success. I am thinking about a revision to rny. My doctors office does them, nut they said my insurance is not paying them, and the only hospital that will take my insurance has told them not to schedule more surgerys because of it, even if I can get them to approve it. Any suggestions. I have a hmo through medical.

Do your research on a revision. www.DSfacts.com

There are alot of people who have fought and won these kinds of ins battles!  There are some really smart people on the duodenal switch board that have revised from the band to ds.

There are also some that can point you in the right direction with the ins battle.

Good luck with your research!
