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
