One step closer.....
I finally tracked down and called the surgeon who did my Crap band surgery and demanded my records... It has taken me three yrs to actually find his office and a contact number. At first it really felt like they were gonna give me the run around but as soon as a lawyer sent them a letter it took less than a week for my records to magically show up at my doorstep.... So this was the last thing my insurance company needed to review me for revision..
I have my fingers and toes crossed that I get approved very soon so I can start my new life....Plus this port feels like it is ripping out of my body. Even if I don't get approved for revision this band and port have got to come out.

Revision from Lap Band to Gastric Sleeve. August 16, 2011
That is GREAT New CindyLyn. My old surgeon office try to tell me 3 wks when I requested my records and I gave them hell calling everyday. As you know im still waiting for answer from the insurance. Today makes 14 days and they need to make a decision today. I just called and this nice lady told me she will send a note to the review board to pu**** and call me back by end of day. I am praying they approve me because im sick of this band already.
Revision on 08/27/15
Has your surgeon told you what your likelihood of approval is? I'm basically in the same boat. I need to get a revision, but my BMI is below 35, so I'm really worried my insurance won't approve a revision to VSG.
