Hey guys! I recently switched jobs and no longer have insurance through my work. I have been looking into individual plans with my main goal being VSG. Just wondering if I can get some opinions and info about the processes you went through and how you felt about the support offered to you through the insurance company. Also pre-approval process info. I previously had United Healthcare and I thought they had a great program but since I have a choice I would love to hear what you think! Especially if you recently got surgery/approval or are going through it right now! Also if anybody has gone through a similar situation I'd love to hear all about it. Thanks!

I was denied revision because I was too compliant I guess.... Got to goal and maintained for 11 years when the stupid band failed me and slipped. Insurance won't revise due to low because of compliance LOL, go figure

Now I've gained 35 pounds in 4 months since band removal

Hello. Were you succesful in getting lepband to another surgery with your insurance?

thanks,

julie

So, I know that I keep posting about this but I'm desperate to find someone who has used Lindstrom. I was denied by insurance company with a peer to peer. My doctor only does peer to peers, and not appeals. So now I am stuck doing it. I contacted Kelley Friday and spoke with her. She made me incredibly hopeful. The basis for my denial was there was no mechanical failure of the band. Kelley suggested I see a Gastroenterologist. I made the appointment as soon as she suggested it. Went today for a consultation and barium swallow. My barium swallow showed reflux, which I knew I had. However it showed that the bad was positioned correctly. Has anyone else been in this situation.

Since you are under your stepfathers insurance coverage, you need to fill his information.
