VBG Revision Insurance Coverage?

I had a revision from VBG to gastric bypass on December 31st. I had terrible GERD and had gained back up to 250 lbs and I'm 5'4. The insurance approval was actually easier this time around. I'm sure they are aware of the problems with the VGB. With my preop diet and post op combined I have lost 29 lbs. I am looking forward to sleeping comfortably without nighttime GERD. I haven't had it since the surgery but the reason I say looking forward to is I can't really sleep on my side or stomach yet and it's driving me crazy!

Good luck!!

Hi Everyone,

Thank you all for taking the time to post.  I will be having a scope in the morning

and hope something shows up to allow for a revision to a RNY. 

I'll post when I know more.
