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. Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App

I don't know if my removal would have been denied, but because I had really bad acid reflux I assume that is why it was covered. Do you have any complications with it?

My Doctor told me before hand that he does the procedure in two steps. He said that he wanted to wait after you remove the band at least three months because the stomach is weak in the area where the band was he wants it to heal first. I had my band removed on November 13 and had to sleeve done on March 16 with the band removal I was back at work in about 3 days and with the sleeve I returned to work after a week. I had no difficulties with either of the surgeries everything went really smooth. Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App

I returned to work after one week, but my surgery went really smooth, and no problems other than not getting in all of my fluids. Sent from my iPod touch using the BariatricPal App
