Scheduled for July Bypass want to switch to Sleeve

Aloha,

I am scheduled to have Gastric Bypass in July and have done soooo much investigating that I want to switch to Sleeve surgery. Has anyone does this? How did it go over with insurance company?

Thank you,

Lulu

I'm doing this right now, though my insurance company never got to the approval point with teh bypass. I switched before all the paperwork was sent in. All I had to do was meet with teh NUT and surgeon again - did it today actually. It was such a waste of time because nothing was said that I didn't already know or discuss in detail with them before, but they required it, so I went. I now wait for the center to send the info to my insurance for approval, should take about 2 weeks and then I schedule surgery. I'm expecting surgery in about a month. ::fingers crossed:::
