Heartburn and hernia--time for bypass?
Fran Quarles replied to ajb1029's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am in the same boat. My surgeon says my hiatal hernia is the largest he has ever seen and is recommending the bypass but I know my insurance covers absolutely no bariatric surgery so I am at a loss. -

Fran Quarles posted a topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
So I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2017 and ever since I have had severe GERD. I just went through an upper GI endoscopy and it was found that I have a huge hiatal hernia, like half of my stomach! My surgeon says the only real way to get relief is the have a gastric bypass but my current insurance does not cover any bariatric surgery. Is there a way to get them to pay since the surgery isn’t for weight loss? I have BCBS of Alabama.
