2nd Opinion on Revision!~ Desperate in Seattle
OMG Thank you so much for all the info! This has helped me tremendously. This Dr. who is extremely popular and well known in the WLS world just completely threw me off with his info. But I am determined to get a revision. I start a new job this month and my new insurance kicks in day 1! It will be with Cigna. Can you maybe give me some info on the insurance approval side of a revision? What are the best steps to take? The most common reasons for approval, etc.
And here is a good link, for a post made by Dr. Keshishain in California:
It is a hand drawn diagram, by him (not to scale) but, it helps explain it to me"in pictures"
