Anyone able to decipher the reponse that I received from my doctor's office? My question to them concerned band removal (which has been approved) and then approval for a separate surgery for sleeving. I will, of course call them, but I am traveling but in the meantime, I thought I would put a question on here. Thanks for any help!

"I did already check with your insurance, you do have the writer. Come in and talk with us.

Oh do have the RIDER not writer. You are covered

Thanks Gamegirl! I thought maybe it was a typo. So "rider" means covered. yay! i am sure that there are a litany of things I have to do after my band comes out in order to qualify. i very much appreciate the response, This can be a angst ridden process trying to figure out what is covered and what isn't.
