emmmie 20 Posted September 7, 2012 I have United Health Care Choice Plus- for my Lapband surgery that I had in August of 2010 I was approved 1st try. Where as, I just had a revision to the VSG on Aug 15th- and because it was a revision it was hell. Several appeals to denials. But if this you first surgery it should go pretty smoothly as long as they identify comorbidities. Hope that helps. I wish you luck in the future. 1 margarita81 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
