Bariatric Revision Evaluations
Some Bariatric patients seek Revision surgery (that is having weight loss surgery a second time). Sometimes Revision surgery is done in response to weight regain or if a patient does not lose enough weight after the first surgery. Most Bariatric surgeons and insurance companies require a bariatric assessment or evaluation before you can be approved for Revision surgery. Some insurance companies require additional documentation that demonstrates behavioral changes to support the request for a second procedure. This may involve one or more counseling sessions depending upon the insurance company.
