Did your insurance make you go through the steps again?

For my band I had to have a letter of medical necessity, a psych eval, and a nutrition eval. I was just wondering if you had to go through all of this over again in order for you to have your revision.

It depends on two things: first, what your health plan's guidelines are for revision from band to sleeve (they all differ). And second, each surgeon may have requirements of their own for revisions. Call your health plan and ask for a copy of their guidelines for revision of bariatric surgery.

Good luck!

I did have to do it over but I did have a different insurance, and the requirements were also different I only had to do 2 Doctor visits as opposed to the 6 I did with the 1st insurance.
