1 surgery per lifetime

Hi!  Does anyone have the 1 surgery per lifetime clause on their insurance?  Have you been able to get around that to get a revision?  what was your experience?

 

I'm hoping there are people who have been approved and can maybe give me some insight into getting an appeal approved!

 

Thanks in advance!

I would contact Lindstrom Obesity Advocacy.

You can pay a lawyer a grand or so but the reality is, those are the contract requirements and they have the right to decline payment.

I realize that. I was asking for experiences.

I'll be sure to post my experience to help other's in the same situation.

 

Wow... very rude.

I was trying to save you $1K.  Never mind, perhaps you should just pay it and then you'll have your experience to share.

I found you very rude as well

I don't plan on spending any money so I didn't need any "advice" regarding that.

I'm curious as to if you made any progress on this?  I'm in the same boat (trying to get a revision from lap band) but have just started the process so don't have any info to share.  If you've got any info about your experience so far I'd appreciate it.  This seems to be the hardest thing to find any historical real experience info about.

Hello. Were you succesful in getting lepband to another surgery with your insurance?

thanks,
