Has any gotten aprroval for revision with UHC

Hi my dr. has submitted my paperwork to the ins. company for approval for a revison (lap to RYN). My BMI is only 39.5 has anyone ever gotten aprroval for revision with a BMI of 39.5

My BMI is 40.1 and UHC has tried to deny me my revision -- apparently their rule is that the patient should have had a BMI of 40+ for the past 5 years.  Hello!! This is a revision - my band worked and I lost 100lbs with it but it's slipped and I've gained most of it back.  So of course my BMI was under 40 in the past 5 years!!! duh

I've hired ObesityLaw.com and we should hear this week or next that they've rethought their decision.  I'm thinking positively and I've scheduled my revision for 11/17!  I'll keep you posted.

UHC doesn't really have criteria for revisions.  They want you to qualify like a new person.  I had won my appeal against UHC-State of Arizona and won.  Keep the positive thoughts.  You have to have proof of mechanical failure.  Hire Walter and Kelley Lindstrom, I wasn't sorry I did.
