That is what happened to me too. I had surgery 4 years ago and 3 months after banded, my company changed insurance carriers. I have not been covered in 2 years. My surgeon retired in that time and I started having problems a month ago. No surgeon wanted to see me b/c I was banded by another dr. After 7 dr.'s turning me down and almost having a nervous breakdown, my hubby found a dr that would see. Well since my insurance does not cover wls it cost me $350 that we did not have and had to borrow from my mom. I will have to pay $150 for every follow up but now I am not sure about surgery. They told me yesterday that my band slipped. I was unfilled and put on the post op diet for the next 4 weeks and then I see my new dr again. He is hoping my band will slip back in place but if not he said he will have to go back in. If he has to go back in, I have no clue how we will pay for it! Sorry I do not have better news for you.
