Yes they did after my appeal when they first denied me.

246 in Dec 2008 before banded 1/28/09 at 215 lbs, band crapped 9/09 at 170 lbs and struggled with it and regained to 203 revised to bypass on 8/1/11 and am very happy.

I had my band (surgery 7.09) removed due to port issue's and had revsion surgery 11.1.11. I am only 13 days post op and lost 20lbs so far. I am very happy with my decision.
