I had a VSG a year and a half ago and may need a revision. Does insurance cover it?

Sorry no one has answered you yet.  It really depends on your insurance.  Did they pay for the first one?  Some policies exclude any and all WLS, and some are a once-per-lifetime type of policy.  Some cover revisions if medically necessary.  And it will depend on the reason for the revision - you might have to show that the revision is needed NOT due to your failure to follow post-surgery instructions.
