I have had my band for 2 years which was self pay and am needing a revision to a sleeve and now I have Aetna. I had my sleep study last week with no sleep apnea and my endoscopy last week with Dr. Kim, he said I have a slipped band which has been empty for weeks. His office submitted everything to the insurance today and said we will have to wait to hear from them. Has anybody else gone throught these steps with insurance, how long does it usually take to get an approval or denial?

I just so your post on there...congrats to you! I got approved too! I can have the band out now and have to do the 3 nutritional classes to get the sleeve so I am going to try and wait and do it all at once...hopefully end of July. Keep me posted on you!
