Insurance question, has anyone hears this?

Ah, I see now!  Thank you so much.  I hope my question didn't sound mean.  That's the problem with texts, but I so appreciate you explaining it to me.  

Nope not at all.  Just something we all do from time to time (hyjacking) without meaning to.  Been there, done that.

Hey HKFandora.

WHy do you think your sleeve has mechanical failure?

I could see a band..having mechanical failure because it is a "thing" inside of the body and those bands can slip..mine has 3 times. But how would a sleeve fail mecahnically?  Just curious..Also,. i am in the process of getting a revision from band to sleeve. My band reall has had many mechnical failures along with me having almost all of the bad side affects.    THe dr's ofice that i got to said i needed to start from scratch..as if a new bariatric patient..meaning. 6 months diet records BMI of 35..etc.  I didnt accept that..i am not a new patient...i called BCBS of Michigan and if the Bariatric Dr can prove that the band has malfunctioned.. I can get approved to go to a sleeve.. so my fingers are crossed. If i were you, i would call the insurance company..and ask them directly.  I did and the rep called the dr's office and explained that they are coding the surgery wrong.

Dont give up.

I have faith that you will get what you need done!
