Hnolan37

Hi Everyone,

I noticed these are old ..question I had the sleeve done in 2015 I am trying to get a revision done to bypass I had an endoscopy and I have ulcerations and hiatal hernia in which the surgeon said he can do both will Cigna cover this? if not I want to pay for it myself do they do plans?

@@Hnolan37 I'm so sorry I haven't been on in over 2 weeks! But I'm guessing you have already been in and out of your pre-op appointment. In general he makes sure you've lost the weight he is looking for you to lose pre-surgery, as well as any additional to show you are really trying. No nicotine test, but he will send you for your pre-op bloodwork to finish up within the month before surgery. I received my new date last month, so I am looking at a March 12th surgery, liquid diet starting next Thursday, the day after my final appt with him. He wanted me to lost 8 lbs this time around before seeing him next week, so I am really hoping I have hit that - having surgery postponed once is brutal enough! Hope it went well!

yes i just went today my surgerys tuesday my blood work is done im good to go i lost 7 lbs soooooo ill update after my surgery
