Revision Procedures in Alabama (BC/BS)

 Hello All,

I had gastric bypass, open RNY, seven years ago.  My opening has stretched, as confirmed by an upper GI.  

I have been weighing-in for 5 months now (next month will be my 6th month).  It appears that BCBS of Alabama only approves lap band over bypass as the sole revision procedure covered by BCBS insurance.

I looked into the ROSE or stomaphyx procedure but BCBS of Alabama does not seem to cover that procedure.

Can anyone give me some information and advice about pursuing a revision procedure in Alabama ?  Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Libby
