[color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]I had my lap band surgery in 2004.[/font][/color] [color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif]Due to restrictions and vomiting my weight went from 230lbs to 165lbs. I had only one fill shortly after surgery the smallest amount they could do. I had problems from the start. I never went back for help because I felt like a failure. Because I paid privately I figured my insurance would not cover complications so I didn't disclose the fact I was vomiting daily. I was willing to make the trade off out of fear of gaining even more weight. Earlier this year I had the band emptied. Now I have gained 20 plus pounds. I want a revision but I'm worried they will not approve it because I have a BMI[/font][/color][color=#282828][font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif] of 30. I need advice. [/font][/color]

Insurance is Blue Sheild *** A+
