Insurance nightmare!
After fulfilling every requirement, jumping through every hoop, and getting all my info submitted for approval last Friday.....I found out my insurance is changing to a completely different company in January! OMG
Seems like there is someone from DH's work who will hand walk all my info to the new insurance for consideration of Band Surgery....so hopefully I won't have to do my 6 month wait and all that other stuff ALL. OVER. AGAIN.

Same happended to us - luckily I was able to get my surgery in (yesterday) but my husband is still in his 6 mo window - the new insurance has a barriatric exclusion so I wound up picked up my insurance just so Jeff's surgery would be covered next year - another expense we don;t need, but better than paying out of pocket.
Good luck!
Good luck!

I would think that since you already did the 6 months, and have all the documentation, it should be ok. I would (A) speak to your Doctor's office since they should know (this is probably somewhat common) (B) can you do your surgery by the end of the year and/or before the switch?
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Also, I would be concerned how "fills" would be covered by my new insurance....Anyway, I am going on a cruise next week, and that cuts out an entire 8 days my stomach would be around for banding. LOL
I'm just going to sit tight, and keep my fingers crossed.
