ladytru84 23 Posted September 17, 2014 Any one have horizon bcbs of nj and was able to get revision band to sleeve. If so how was the approval process ? Thank u Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gendy 27 Posted September 22, 2014 I have BCBS of NJ but haven't submitted to the insurance company yet. I see the doctor on 10/1/14 and am hoping they submit to the insurance company right after that. I will keep you posted. I can say that I didn't have a problem being approved with the band and another surgery to fix the band. I'll keep you posted on my progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladytru84 23 Posted September 22, 2014 Oh ok that's good... good luck at ur appointment n yes please keep me posted u really appreciate that.. what problems r u having with your band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gendy 27 Posted September 24, 2014 I just have severe heart burn and of course the usual food getting stuck. Not a lot compared to some people. But I'm not losing weight either. In fact I lost 80 and gained back 30, so I need to get the sleeve soon. I have lost 20 lbs since July, but it sure hasn't been easy. What problems are you having?

Gendy 27 Posted November 11, 2014 I got approved! I ended up having to switch doctors and my paperwork got lost, but once the paperwork was submitted to the insurance company it only took a week and a halt to get approved!
