Sara.G 2 Posted April 25, 2014 I have an appt next week with a surgeon to discuss revision surgery- the removal of my lap band and revision to gastric bypass. I have Anthem BC/BS and I was wondering if anyone was aware of anything I should say or point out or discuss that may help my chances with getting approved? Thanks in advance for any suggestions Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The absolute truth with all the pain and setbacks and medical complications should make a persuasive story. Might as well leave out the part about your sadness and disappointment. That doesn't seem to move insurance companies. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
