BC/ BS of AL won't pay anymore.



Recommended Posts

Sooo I was banded Feb 2008. I did awesome lost over 180 lbs. Bc/Bs stopped paying for any bariatric anything about a year in. I didn't care. My doctor cut me a deal on fills, etc. In Nov 2010 I had a panniculectomy and had 12 lbs of skin cut off my stomach. I believe during that surgery something happened to my band. I was still losing up to that point, but afterwards, I had no restriction. I filled and filled, and food still went down fine. However I had to have some removed because even though food went down liquids wouldn't. Weird I know. Sooooo now 2 years and 4 months later I have gained 70 lbs back. You.can imagine not being hungry for 2 1/2 years then suddenly STARVING all the time. Soooo disgusted with myself. Anyway, BS/BS if AL will not pay for any surgery to repair, replace, or even exploration to find out what the problem is. So sad. Anyone else had this problem?
