Congratulations Leslie! You're definitely one of the lucky ones to have your insurance pay for your revision.  And it's coming up SO soon!!  You'll do great! 

Leslie, I think it is great that insurance approved you!  You should smiling from ear to ear.  I think I would be floating on cloud nine. Keep us all posted on your journey.

How on earth did you get them to pay for your revision? Please. Do tell.

To get insurance to cover I had an Upper Gi & endoscopy to show stoma enlargement. I also had to requalify, BMI 35 or above w/comorbities,sleep apnea,arthritis,stress fractures due to weight, depression,Psyh eval, Nutr eval, sent letter of medical ness from 3 doctors and copies of my WW bock for 04 &05 showing weight loss& gain, copies of my gym membership usuage of 2yrs. these to show I was compliant with diet and exercise....hoops, hoops, hoops.
