bariatric surgeon
Question
Have you heard of a client that had their stomached stapled and after its failure had the lapband surgery? Also, in your experience does insurance normally pay in this situation?
Sorayal,
This procedure of putting a Band on a previously stapled stomach is being practiced by a number of surgeons. The procedure seems to be safe, but the effectiveness seems limited.
To my knowledge, insurance does not cover that type of procedure.
Best of luck,
Dr JP
