I JUST RECEIVED a call from my insurance company that ..... She isn't sure what happen or why, but her boss just called her and told her I was approved for my revision surgery and I don't have to wait for the council meeting on May 24.

I DO KNOW what happen .... They were denying me for bogus reasons and I'm desperate and tired of playing their games and jumping through hoops so I called the UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF LABOR !!! They got involved and contacted my insurance company. The department of labor got on their butts !!!

Anyways .... This band is coming out May 9 th !!!!!! Woohoo thank you for all of the love and support on this board

Congrats Sheri, I know how it feels to go through the revision process. I just want to give you some advice. Do your research on Band to a sleeve. I don't want to discourage you but really really look into it.

Hi sherberi

My insurance denied me for the sleeve but approved to remove the band. My doctor did a peer to peer and still denied. They didnt know if I was complicate(on both denials). I switched doctors about a year or so after my banding. He was to far and I never got any restriction. My second dr was awesome but we moved to Texas and didn't need any fills because I had restriction. Last year i start getting bad reflux. I went to this new doctor & he sent me for upper GI. I did the psych & nutrition evaluation. So my doctor sent in an appeal to get in approved. They didnt include my progress notes from my first dr. Im hoping the approve it because I cant take it.
