I had a BRAVO test, which does the same thing but with a little capsule that is attached to the esophagus to monitor the acid level. I got approval for a revision, I don't know how much the test results had to do with it. My surgeon and I already knew I had GERD and esophagitis. The test did give them an indication how bad the GERD was.

Ok. Thank you! I’ve already had other tests that show I have a hiatal hernia and reflux going into my distal esophagus. But my surgeon said it’s not enough. So now I’m doing the 24 hour PH. I’m praying this will get me approval.

Has anyone had to have the 24 hour PH test??? Did it help with approval for revision?

Hey guys! Just wondering if anyone out there has had sleeve to RNY covered by GEHA insurance. I’m having severe GERD and have a hiatal hernia. I’ve looked up the insurance policy but it’s all pretty vague. I’m working with a provider who is recommending a revision. Let me know! Thanks.

Has anyone had a revision from sleeve to a duodenal switch with GEHA insurance? I’m having terrible GERD. I had the sleeve 6 years ago and have been on nexium ever since. My GERD is getting worse. So I’m thinking about starting the process of having a revision. Not sure if GEHA would cover it or even where to start with the process.

Hey everyone! I was sleeved march 25th and I'm feeling great. I'm down 24 pounds. This whole adventure has been crazy but I'm excited to continue on this journey!
