I was denied for a revision surgery.
RNY on 02/06/13
don't say you were depressed, and that why you were over over eating. Appeal to your insurance and say. you were constantly hungry.. And the lap band didn't control your appetite Also submit proof that you have hypo thyroid. which causes you to gain weight.. Submit all your medical records for proof. if you go to your dr. for help now for the next 6 month and you dont loose any weight, then you can get approved for a revision.. Good luck. I feel and understand your pain.
When you have thyroid problems the lap band & RNYY surgery will fail for in adequate weight loss . You may need the DS . because thyroid cause your metabolism to be extra slow in burning fat.
