Insurance Probelms
I just found out that my insurance company has a clause in there that states that they will only pay for one WLS surgery in a lifetime. So because I will need a revision to help reduse the size of my pouch that has stretched they will not pay for it. Has anyone else had the same issue and how did you over come it? Please help.
Sad to say I don't think there is anyway around the exclusionary clause. Many of the insurance companies are adopting that, which is very prejudiced to those of us who were conned into lap bands, since they are basically useless and many times requires a revision to another surgery. The same for those with the RNY whose pouch has stretched out like you. As far as I know there is no way around it.
