Hello, has anyone had revision from sleeve to bypass? Was it hard to get insurance to cover it?

I'm having revision from sleeve to mini bypass on March 31st and my insurance would not cover it. I have bc/bs of Kansas. They said my bmi wasn't high enough, I never did the 6 month diet (first surgery in Mexico), and no co-morbidities. So I'm just going back to Mexico. Initially I wanted the bypass because they don't do the mini here in my area but after talking to two surgeons in Mexico and researching it, I feel better about the mini bypass for me personally. Good luck with your insurance.

I had originally considered the band to the sleeve and got approved. Then I changed my mind and did the band to bypass, I was able to get approved again. I am not sure why some people get approved quick and others don't.
