I can't believe it!!  I got the call from CIGNA this morning at 9:30AM telling me the external appeal is over and I'M APPROVED FOR REVISON SURGERY!!!    OMG, I thought I was going to faint!  It has been a long, drawn-out journey of three internal appeals and two external appeals, lost packets, a conference call and threats but I'm proof that YOU CAN BEAT CIGNA!!  I was told my approval letter was mailed yesterday so I should have it in my hot little hand tomorrow or Monday and I can fax it over to my surgeon's office. OMG, I just can't believe it!  My advice is keep fighting!!  Be tenacious, be persistant and DON'T GIVE UP!!

So you are going to have a revision to a DS? or you had the DS already?  Please explain. I am interested in what everyone is doing or want to do.

Yes, what kind of revision are you having.  There are several of us on this site that are seeking revisions and haven't had much luck. Tell ALL, please,  Betty

I  had Silastic Ring Vertical Gastroplasty (SRVG) back in 1997.  (It is similar to the VBG.)  I have been approved to have a revision to the Duodenal Switch (DS).
