As I have posted last week, I do indeed have band slippage (by the way with no apparent symptoms except vomiting/spitting up nightly) and was able to eat normal, solid foods so I must say you can have slippage and still be able to eat and drink and food go down fine. Scary that there are no symptoms I know....

I am supposed to hear from my insurance today on approval for revision and surgery for fixing of the slipped band. Please pray they do cover. If so I am to be scheduled for surgery either tomorrow morning or Feb 14th. I will keep you posted.

I have faith in God that he will help me on this... Thanks for your prayers and concerns....

I'll keep you in my thoughts, Brenda. I know how disconcerting it can be. Is this the same insurance who paid for your band initially? If so, they'll probably cover it. I had even changed plans/same company, and they did cover mine. I hope it's the same for you.

Please let us know what you find out. Good luck to you!

Sending prayers your way!

You are in my Thoughts and Prayers Brenda. Take Care

Leatha, yes, same insurance company and plan.I am praying so hard they will cover. I am not a wealthy person and need them to cover. Thanks for your encouarging words.

I will keep you all posted.

My prayers and thoughts are with you, Brenda!

My prayers are with You..

Take care

Good luck, Brenda. Let us know what your insurance company says.

Brenda,

Got lots of prayer coming from here for you.

I checked with my insuracne co when I got approved and they told me that any problems that arise from the surgery or the product inplanted are covered if the Dr can justify them. band removal at my request would not be covered.

So hopefully yours will cover you>>>AND THEY SHOULD

(((Hugs))) and prayers, Brenda! I bet they'll cover it. I know you'll be glad to get this fixed.

Oh Brenda, I pray also for the insurance to cover this.

Thanks for the slippage information. It is very - VERY important that we understand that slipped bands *most of the time* give very little symptoms and sometimes show itself as someone who may be a tad bit over restricted.

VALUABLE information to keep on hand!

Brenda My prayers and thoughts are on the way!

Well, no news yet on insurance coverage for my revision. The nurse anticipates it will be covered but don't know for sure. I am on the surgery schedule for next Friday, 2-11-05. By that time we should know about coverage or not. Thanks for all your prayers...
