Frustrated
I have completed everything to be considered for a revision from the band to the sleeve. The weight loss is a struggle non fact I have gained an its taken me over the 6 months. I have Kaiser an their process is beyond ridiculous. I'm going for my final weigh in on December 17th. I'm just going to tell her to submit my paperwork to the committee. If I could lose weight with the band I would not be Asking for a revision.
I sure will. It's crazy at one of their forums the surgeons was like their doing less surgeries and he was not sure why. Then on the Second meeting we have to do a letter as to why we want the surgery. I can't deal I want my life back. No I'm not willing to keep doing this. It is what it is on the 17th. Kaiser is ridiculous
I feel your pain. I have been getting dicked around by Cigna since April. They denied my first request, denied the appeal, after the peer to peer they still denied me. My surgeon has taken my case to Cignas National Appeasl unit. Not sure what the outcome will be, but I have a lawyer lined up to sue the **** out of Cigna. Their reason for denial? It is not medically necessary to have the band removed and revised to the bypass. Yes my BMI is at 40 again which sucks.
I have 24/7 heartburn and pain on my left side. My port is encased in scar tissue that you can feel just by pressing in slightly on my stomach. I have no fill, yet I still have some restriction due to scar tissue that has built up around the band. I am tired of feeling like **** and vomitting because some things will go down and others just don't want to stay in no matter how much I chew. Just a bunch of bull**** and the dam insurance company not wanting to pay.
