Revision from lap- band, already removed

Hi All,

My Dr's office submitted my paperwork to my insurance company Blue Shield last Monday. They came back requesting more info pre and post weight/BMI?

We finally understood they were asking for my info pre and post lap band. I had it placed in 2006 and removed in 2009/2010. I removed it since it just didn't work and we wanted to start a family.

My question is do any of you have any experience with insurance companies denying based upon past failures? I don't feel this should even be an issue for them and not sure why they ate linking into it,so any insight would be great thanks.

I am RIGHT with you!! I had my band removed in 2014 bc it just did not work. My insurance is also Highmark BCBS.

I have started the process of revision (even thought it's out!).

I am waiting to see how things work out with my approval. ...
