I sent it to Larra, and she thought it was strangely worded. It didn't explain if a revision was covered, nothing about a second wls.

I had RNY in 2010, lost about 60lbs, am currently 280, and since I found out about the possibility of a revision to ds I have been working towards it. DS was never mentioned as a possibility when I had RNY. I told the surgeon I wanted the most severe surgery, RNY was it at the time.
