I tried for the DS from my lap-band but as my BMI was under 50, they would not even consider it. I ended up changing it to the RNY in order to have the insurance pay for it. Self-pay was not an option for me...

Glad to hear you are able to get your band removed and have a revision surgery.  I was band to sleeve.  The sleeve is so much easier and more natural.  Again Congratulations.
