Will I likely qualify for revision since my weight has been hovering from BMI 30-35 for 2 years?

Will I likely qualify for a revision to RNY gastric bypass since I had the lap band 2+ years ago and my BMI always stayed obese between 30-35 for 2 years? I did exercise, food diet, weight lifting, etc

My insurance is Health Net. They specify 2 years of BMI 35 for those who never had surgery. They don't mention requirement for revision.

I don't know the particulars of your insurance or what goes into coverage for a revision, but just about all insurance companies require you to have a BMI of 40 or above or have comorbidities if you are between 30 and 35.  Some insurance companies even require you to have 2 comorbidities.  They are pretty particular about which comorbidities will qualify, but they are the major ones like diabetes, sleep apnea, cadriomyopathy, etc.  That part is pretty standard across the board.  I know some people who don't meet that criteria choose to self-pay.  I suggest you call your insurance company first and ask them if they will cover a revision and whether or not you meet their criteria.

Good luck!

You'll just have to call and ask. Some companies have started having a 'one per lifetime' clause on WLS, alas.

Every insurance company has different requirements. The only way to know for sure is to contact HealthNet directly, give them your ID number, and ask them directly.

Cool. I contacted my surgeon and they said they will do everything to get me qualified to get the revision done. I am awaiting to get this done by early 2015, I'll keep you guys posted.

Also, doesn't it sound good that I can change to 4 different insurances in a matter of weeks?

I think there are a few who did lap band, were not satisfied with the pounds and they decide on a revision. There are folks who do gastric bypass, lose like 90% EWL but then regain it a few years later.

Isn't that crazy? After gastric bypass they say if you don't eat right your pouch stretches back to where it was!

Who says that?  It is possible, though it doesn't happen often, for the  pouch to stretch more than it's meant to.  But it would be physically impossible for it to stretch to the size the old stomach would.
