Okay, so I am a sort of newbie and have been lurking on this page for a couple weeks now.
Long story short, had the band in 5/09, slipped 11/10 and again in 08/11. Talked to DR about revision to DS and we are all systems go!!!
Got my "somewhat" approval letter from the insurance company, it's not the offiicial pre-cert but all procedures are approved. I am currently getting my affairs in order (work, pre-tests, labs, etc.) before we get the pre-cert and set a surgery date.
I have soo many emotions right now regarding this light at the end of my tunnel (where before with the band - it was more of a blinking light! LOL) and my future and just finally being HEALTHY!!!!
UPDATE 8/29
Soo the approval letter...was the actual pre-cert!!! I am APPROVED and have a Surgery Date for 1/19/12!!!!
WOOOOHOOOO!!!
