Lap Band Revision to the Sleeve
vsulize2 replied to breprih's topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I finally received a call from my surgeons office to schedule my surgery (January 3rd), now they will submit that to my insurance to see if it's approved. This is such a huge hassle to get this going. My surgeons office took 5 weeks to review my chart before scheduling and submitting to insurance. So now I have to wait another 2 months to do anything else. My band was removed a year ago now and I've regained 88% of my weight. -
Lap Band Revision to the Sleeve

I'm in a very similar boat. Had the bad placed in 2009, lost 100lbs, removed end of 2016 due to car accident. Just now finishing up all the hoops that my insurance requires. I will find out in the next 2 weeks if my surgery is approved to be scheduled. I will also be getting the sleeve. I look forward to reading about your progress. Good luck! -
I originally had the Lap Band in 2009. By 2016 I had lost 100 pounds and had reached my goal weight. In October of 2016 I was in a car accident and my surgeon had to do an emergency surgery to remove my band because it had rotated and was restricting all fluids from going down. I have spent the past 6 months jumping through every hoop and request that Molina has requested in order to get a revision surgery to have the Sleeve procedure done. Next week will be my final dietician appointment and we will send in the required paperwork to request authorization for surgery. I pray that Molina approves this surgery. I have regained 87 pounds since my accident. I'm discouraged but determined to get back to goal.
