I had a lap band in 07, an erosion in 2010, I had HIP at the time. Now I have United Health Care. I lost 91 lbs and was working the plan. I had no pain from the erosion and the only way it was discovered was from going for adjustments and they would not hold.. Fast forward to now and my insurance had changed and my I am slowly gaining weight. I have a BMI of 33.2 now.. The insurance company wants a BMI of 35 and 2 special circomstances like sleep apnea, high blood pressure, dibites..I do not have any of those... From working with the band my sleep apnea is gone... I want to get the sleeve and the insurance company will not cover it because I am not heavy enough... The band was removed from no fault of my own as well as if I was not trying all the weight would be back as well as maybe not even lost all that to begin with..I used to have bronkites all the time, heart burn, fatigue all the typical problems.. I dont know what to do .. I was wondering if anyone has experience that I can learn from.. I want to maintain my quailty of life.. I know people say this is an easy way out but for those who have followed the plan and use this a a tool .. its not easy.. Please any help would be appreciated.....
