Medically necessary...what were your reasons?

I was banded almost 2 years ago and have been researching options should I ever want to revise.  Currently I have no issues with my band, other than I'm 8 months out from having my twins and I still can't get back to where I was restriction wise before I had the babies.  I got pregnant less than 6 months after being banded so all my weight loss happened right in the beginning.  My insurance will cover a revision but only if it's medically necessary.  Right now, that's not the case for me.

If at some point I do decide to move forward with a revision, can you tell me what your symptoms were that were grounds for approval of a medically necessary revision? Is heart burn, discomfort enough?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

2-1/2 years of documented reflux that showed up on my upper GI was my reason and I had no difficulties with insurance approval.  :)
