Need to gain 12 lbs to qualify for revision!
I'm a bit confounded as i was an insurance pay and had trouble with my band had it removed at a BMI of 30 and had the revision all paid for. The idea that a self pay cannot get what they want with your overlying issues is beyond me. I think you go back to your Dr and tell him you don't want to lose weight or have your surgery at another hospital. Something seems off. I will also say in the effort of full disclosure that i had no restriction in my band for 4 months before surgery and i gained 30lbs of my weight back. It has not been such a walk in the park to lose it. I thought it would be a no brainer. I was wrong.
