banded213 got a reaction from inneedofchange in No more vomiting?
Thanks for being so honest. I think my success with the band was due to the same reason. I'm 4 days post-op now and I'm nervous yet excited about this new journey.

Blue Cross Blue Shield. You can have the same insurance as someone else but different coverage. Coverage is established by the contract the employer agreed to with the insurance company. I have a friend who also has United Health Care but she had different requirements for her surgery than I did because we have different employers with different coverage and criteria.

It depends on your insurance. I have UHC and they used my weight from my first visit with the doctor and nutritionist. The coordinator at the insurance company told me they won't penalize you for losing weight before the surgery during the six month medically supervised diet.
I was a revision also and still had to meet my ins. co. criteria. I had some tests that showed my band was causing problems so my insurance company approved me early and did not require me to complete the full six month medically supervised diet.
Good luck to you, and hope you get a date soon for your surgery.
