yes and no and sort of...UHC has paid for everything regarding my revision from band to RNY with the exception of my surgeon.  It has turned into a mess.  See my post a few up from yours...

Good luck with your revision!

I have UHC with the State of Arizona and they did cover my revision.  I had to hire a lawyer but they approved it.  They denied all the bills, but we got them finally to pay them all.  It can be done.
