Does ins pay for revision

 
Flat out, No.

Ins will not pay for WLS with a BMI of 32.  Welcome to the world of self pay. ;o)

Exercise is not what causes you to lose weight.  Diet is.  Exercise makes you healthy while you do it, diet is what causes weight loss.

That is not true.  Certain insurance companies will absolutely cover revision surgery at a BMI of 32.  I only had a BMI of 30 and no co-morbidities when I went in for the Lap Band in February.  You may be surprised. 

 
Not to another surgery type with no medical problems and a BMI of 32.

Bet'cha a cyber dollar. ;o)

Self pay for a revision with Dr. K is $28,500.  Dr. Rabkin's office quoted me $35,000.  Dr. Stewart's office quoted me "around"  $25,000 give or take.  Keep in mind prices are continuing to sky-rocket for medical care.  The majority of all these fees go directly to the hospital.

I had nooooooo other medical problems besides being a little bit oerweight.  I was approved for an RNY revision but decided on the LapBand (to only have it removed 7 months later).  I definitely think it depends on the type of insurance a person has.   

I totally won your cyber dollar because I am living proof!  :-P

 
Nope, didn't win this time.

Band over bypass is fixing a mechanical problem of the bypass.  Not the same as what the OP is dealing with.  Not the same at all.
