Question:
How much problem would it be at this point?

Here is my problem... My information has already been sent to the insurance company for RNY surgery. Now I have been thinking about going with the AGB. How much problem would it be to change my mind about the type of surgery I want to have? Will I totally have to resubmit everything and start all over or what? Thanks, Sheryl    — Sheryl W.

I don't know. My insurance definitely wouldn't pay for the band so I had mine in Mexico for $6500. But some insurances are paying for the band and I truly believe that whatever hassle it would be would be worth it. You are obviously having doubts about the RNY. Don't settle for your second choice. Check out the Bandsters Insurance group on yahoogroups. Good luck.

First of all find out if your insurance will pay for that procedure. You can ask if you know who approved your other procedure. I just had to switch doctors in the middle of my approval and the lady I was dealing with at the insurance company said as long as I delt with the same person changing things was pretty easy. Hope this helps.
