So finally after 3 years of fighting with my past insurance I am approved! I used to have BCBS IL and switched to IL Health Alliance through my employer. They approved me within a few hours! BCBS IL denied me three times and after peer to peer they still didn't approve because they said GERD was not enough to do a revision. Surgery is in three weeks!

Wow! Way to persevere! Good luck with your revision.

Yay! I'm glad it worked out for you. Get ready for a new life!

GERD is like the main side effect of the sleeve and is always usually resolved by doing a revision. Wow, what lame-o's.
