Wondering...

[melbri 0]

I currently have lap band and was successful in the beginning but now it seems every other month I'm having to unfill. I wish gastric sleeve was more known almost 3 years ago when I had the surgery. My insurance now doesn't cover any bariatric surgery but was wondering if there were any loop holes to go through to get some of it covered? My latest upper gi showed a hiatal hernia and I thought I once read something similar to this. Any suggestions?

I have heard of surgeons performing the sleeve while repairing the hernia. The insurance is billed for the hernia as the primary basis for surgery. I do think there is some out of pocket money but not too much.
