I'm not sure about your insurance. Have you researched types of revision? Please consider revision to the duodenal switch (DS). I will put a couple links below. Please research it and come by the DS forum.

I don't have Cigna, but from what I understand of others that do have Cigna your BMI has to be 50 or above in order to approved for a duodenal switch (DS), which is the only revision WLS I would even consider.
