Thanks for the feedback. It now makes since now why the insurance coordinator wants to gather as much detail aout my weight history and a possible EGD after she receives the results from my sleep study. I hope everything works out. I am not losing any weight since ater having my daughter. I was 235 when I had my lapband surgery and got down to 209 after surgery Then I got pregnant, had my band unfilled and now it's like the band is just there. It's been too tight.. not tight enough...only to result in weight gain. I hope I can get this revision!

Ok, so I received the Lapband 12/31/2009 paid by BCBS. Now that I am with a different company and have AETNA POS II- will I have a chance of getting them to pay for the revision to the sleeve? I had my consultation and the insurance coordinator advised me that she will need me to have a sleep study (which I did last night) and the next 3 months to meet with a nutritionist. She also advised me that she is requesting my weight history from my last surgeon. Do I have a good chance of getting an approval? Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance for any comments or feedback.
