audreycat123 59 Posted November 10, 2012 I had my surgery Thursday. Whew! So far a little worse than I was expecting, but getting better. I ended up being self pay after an exclusion had been found in my insurance at the last minute. However I remember the surgeon saying something about repairing a hiatal hernia while he was in there doing the lap band surgery Thursday. I was too loopy to get any details,I haven't even looked up what a hiatal hernia is yet, but I wonder if I can get any part of this run through insurance now? Thoughts?

Banditiff 51 Posted November 10, 2012 This is actually how my Dr hours about getting part of the Lap Band paid for. When we found out that my insurance would not pay, my Dr performed a EDG (endoscopy) and took a biopsy of my hital hernia. So, now my insurance is going to pay for the repair of my hital hernia. That way the hospital fees and anesthesia are paid for by my insurance. So, now I'm having my Lap Band done while my hital hernia is being repaired! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
