Probably not.
Better safe than sorry. Resubmit.

That is dependent upon your insurance company. My company approves the PROCEDURE...not the surgeon. I went for a second opinion and did not need to resubmit. Good luck.Some carriers, however, may tell you that you can only have the procedure done at certain hospitals with surgeons carrying certain designations but I suppose that would depend on the procedure. For instance with Anthem Blue Cross, typically for the Gastric Bypass (I know we are talking PS here...but this is just an example) they require you to have the surgery at a Center of Excellence.
Call your carrier and ask - let us know what they say.
Good luck! :)
