Completely unfilled and throwing up!

[MyMeshelle 2]

Last year I almost died from my Lapband aspirating into my lung... I spent 3 weeks in ICU... I got a complete unfill and I still get sick on a daily basis.. How can I get my insurance to pay for a revision? I been banded since 2008 and I feel like this band is going to kill me! ????

I have no info on coverage for revision surgery, but would guess that it depends on whether the problem is band failure rather than patient "failure." Your being at your goal and a good BMI now will probably be a factor unless you have co-morbidities. Take it up with your surgeon's office. It seems you have many factors at play.

The reason I'm stopping in is that I can't help but wonder why your band hasn't been removed? It makes no sense, as it does seem that the band is has been the problem.
