Revision paperwork submitted today!
Today the surgeons office called to let me know everything for my revision to the sleeve is sent to the insurance company! I had my lapband originally in 2007 only to have it replaced in 2009 with a realize band. This past April 2011 I was throwing up for a total of 4 months and was severley malnourished so they removed it again. Through my insurance company the wouldn't cover anything but removal. I have since then gain almost 60 lbs back. I am a nurse and happened to meet a surgeon that gave me hope when he said that I should do a sleeve. He would file it under revision on the insurance claims! So I have a long 7-10 day wait! I have Cigna Open Access plus which says in their policy that they cover it if there was a mechanical failure....I hope it all goes well. If you pray....please pray for me!
