AvMed Approved Revision

I was approved for Lapband in 2008 when I had BCBS PPO plan. Fast forward to 2014....in January I changed insurance to AvMed and due to not having success with the band I asked my doctor to submit a request for a band removal and revision surgery for the gastric sleeve. That was in February and honestly I didn't have any hopes of them approving it. In March I was advised that they approved both surgeries! The only thing I had to do was go to another nutritionist visit and of course get bloodwork. Surgery is scheduled for April 24th.

I also know someone who AvMed approved their band removal and revision to sleeve after they were a self pay for the band. I'm not a representative of AvMed nor have I had them long enough to make a decision on how I like them as a whole. I do know that I'm happy with the approval for revision. 

Congratulations on getting approved & much success on your revision
