Congrats on your approval! I got a call from my insurance today, they denid me. They have requested more information from the doctor. Can't say that I'm not a little it discouraged, but I'm keeping positive thoughts. I really need this revision.

They may approve it once they get the other info b

Psych eval complete. Hopefully the coordinator submitted everything to insurance today. Now I wait. Hopefully I will have an approval by next week!

Congrats on your approval! May I ask why you are having to have your band removed? I had mine removed due to erosion and the surgery coordinator is currently (supposedly) in the process of submitting the paperwork for my sleeve surgery. I also have BCBS (AL) so I was wondering what they were going to require of you to get the revision done.

My band failed to work anymore. Plus vomiting abdominal pain and my EGD showed my band was out of place so I had no stomach pouch. BCBS is pretty fast with approvals long as everything is documented. My approval took less than 48 hours

[FXDF2008 14]

So BCBS-AL did not require you to do a six month weight loss program or meet the BMI or co-morbidity requirements? Was your original procedure covered by insurance?

Hi Everyone!

Just a quick update, I've been approved and surgery is July 20th.
