I had my dr appt today but mines a different circumstances. 15 yrs ago I had vertical banded gastroplasty and it's totally destroyed. Ins will pay to have the surgery repaired but I would have to meet the requirements for a new surgery. The new requirements are BMI over 40, over 21 yrs old and 5 yr history of morbid obesity. I fit the first 2 requirements and wondering about what they base the 5 yr history on. Hoping and praying for an approval!
